摘要

Here, we present an efficient electroenzymatic strategy for transforming allyl alcohols into chiral alkyl aldehydes with excellent enantioselectivity. Adverse interactions between the two are effectively prevented by employing a biphasic system to physically separate the anode from the enzymes. Furthermore, using the redox mediator 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperinedinyloxy (TEMPO) significantly lowers the overpotential and enhances the efficiency of the allyl alcohol electrooxidation step. The ene-reductase OYE1 is employed to catalyze the reduction of the resulting E-alkenes, typically yielding chiral alkyl aldehyde. Additionally, the ene-reductase GluER-T36A is capable of reducing both E- and Z-alkenes, yielding chiral alkyl aldehyde with the same configuration. This electroenzymatic system is characterized by outstanding yields (up to 93%) and excellent stereoselectivity (>99% enantiomeric excess, ee). Molecular docking provides a detailed understanding of the internal mechanism of GluER-T36A. This study introduces a complementary approach to traditional transition-metal-catalyzed methods, where the transformation of E- and Z-allylic alcohols typically results in products with opposite stereochemical configurations.
