Regioselective Enzymatic Beta-Carboxylation of Para-Hydroxy-Styrene Derivatives Catalyzed by Phenolic Acid Decarboxylases.
Adv. Synth. Catal., 357:1909-, 2015

PubMed Abstract: We report on a 'green' method for the utilization of carbon dioxide as C unit for the regioselective synthesis of ()-cinnamic acids regioselective enzymatic carboxylation of -hydroxystyrenes. Phenolic acid decarboxylases from bacterial sources catalyzed the β-carboxylation of -hydroxystyrene derivatives with excellent regio- and (/)-stereoselectivity by exclusively acting at the β-carbon atom of the C=C side chain to furnish the corresponding ()-cinnamic acid derivatives in up to 40% conversion at the expense of bicarbonate as carbon dioxide source. Studies on the substrate scope of this strategy are presented and a catalytic mechanism is proposed based on molecular modelling studies supported by mutagenesis of amino acid residues in the active site.
