| Abstract | |
In this work, the behavior of hydroxy chalcogenides (Se and Te) towards the biotransformations using isolated enzymes in organic media or aqueous media and using microorganisms (fungi) was studied. A comparative study of the effect of temperature, solvent, enzyme immobilization and structure of the substrates on the resolution was performed. Initially, the compounds had been synthesized using described methods in the literature, after, the resolution of hydroxy selenides in organic media using isolated lipases was carried out (Scheme 1)(see PDF), including a study on the immobilization of PPL on some supports, as well studies on the influence of the variation of the solvent, the temperature, lipase, etc. In the resolution in aqueous media using isolated lipases, initially the hydroxy selenides were transformed into their acetates by convertional chemical methods, and then, a screening with ten enzymes from different sources was carried out using pH indicator. In the following, the enzymatic resolution of the selanyl acetates in aqueous media using the enzymes selected in the screening step was performed (Scheme 2)(see file). The biotransformations by fungi were performed using whole cells of some Aspergillus terreus strains. In the sequence, the resolution of hydroxy tellurides in organic media using isolated lipases was carried out (Scheme 3) (see file). In these resolutions, the influence of the variation of the solvent, lipase and the reaction time was also studied. In order to demonstrate the potencial of the resolved compounds, one chiral hydroxy selenide and one chiral hydroxy telluride were used to prepare compounds belonging to classes of building blocks of wide occurrence in natural products: an allylic alcohol and a lactone (Scheme 4)(see file).
