PROCESS FOR PREPARING ENANTIOMERICALLY ENRICHED AMINES

A process for preparing enantiomerically enriched amines by reacting a ketone with ammonia or an ammonium salt and a reducing agent in the presence of a catalytic system comprising the components: a) an amino acid transaminase, b) an alpha-amino acid which is a substrate of the amino acid transamina...

Zusammenfassung:A process for preparing enantiomerically enriched amines by reacting a ketone with ammonia or an ammonium salt and a reducing agent in the presence of a catalytic system comprising the components: a) an amino acid transaminase, b) an alpha-amino acid which is a substrate of the amino acid transaminase, c) an amino acid dehydrogenase suitable for preparing the alpha-amino acid, d) NAD(P)+ and e) an NAD(P)+-reducing enzyme, which reacts NAD(P)+ with the reducing agent to give NAD(P)H. The process can be carried out with catalytic amounts of alpha-amino acid and NAD(P)+, and enables an enantioselective reductive amination of ketones.
