Enantioselective synthesis of amines via reductive amination with a dehydrogenase mutant from Exigobacterium sibiricum: Substrate scope, co-solvent tolerance and biocatalyst immobilization.

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, the reductive amination of ketones in the presence of amine dehydrogenases emerged as an attractive synthetic strategy for the enantioselective preparation of amines starting from ketones, an ammonia source, a reducing reagent and a cofactor, which is recycled in situ by means of a second enzyme. Current challenges in this field consists of providing a broad synthetic platform as well as process...
