OXIDATION AND AMINATION OF PRIMARY ALCOHOLS

The present invention relates to a method comprising the steps a) providing a primary alcohol of the formula HO-(CH2)x-R1, wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of -OH, -SH, -NH2 and -COOR2, x is at least 3 and R2 is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl and aryl, b) oxidizing th...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method comprising the steps a) providing a primary alcohol of the formula HO-(CH2)x-R1, wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of -OH, -SH, -NH2 and -COOR2, x is at least 3 and R2 is selected from the group consisting of H, alkyl and aryl, b) oxidizing the primary alcohol by contacting it with an NAD(P)+-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase, and c) contacting the oxidation product of step a) with a transaminase, wherein the NAD(P)+-alcohol dehydrogenase and/or the transaminase is a recombinant or isolated enzyme, to a whole cell catalyst for carrying out the method, and to the use of such a whole cell catalyst for oxidizing a primary alcohol.
