Oxidation and amination of primary alcohols

A method including the steps a) providing a primary alcohol of the formula HO-(CH2)x-R1, where R1 is -OH, -SH, -NH2 or -COOR2; x is at least 3; and R2 is H, alkyl or aryl, b) oxidizing the primary alcohol by contacting it with an NAD(P)+-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase, and c) contacting the oxidati...

Zusammenfassung:A method including the steps a) providing a primary alcohol of the formula HO-(CH2)x-R1, where R1 is -OH, -SH, -NH2 or -COOR2; x is at least 3; and R2 is H, alkyl or 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, where the NAD(P)+-alcohol dehydrogenase and/or the transaminase is a recombinant or isolated enzyme. A whole cell catalyst for carrying out the method. The use of such a whole cell catalyst for oxidizing a primary alcohol.
