Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase-dependent biotransformations: Stereospecific heteroatom oxidations by camphor-grown Pseudomonas putida to produce chiral sulfoxides

Camphor-grown Pseudomonas putida NCIMB 10007 catalysed the stereospecific oxygenation of various alkyl aryl sulfides to equivalent S-(-)-sulfoxides. The structure of the sulfide significantly influenced both the yield and the optical purity of the predominant product. The biotransformations were cat...

Zusammenfassung:Camphor-grown Pseudomonas putida NCIMB 10007 catalysed the stereospecific oxygenation of various alkyl aryl sulfides to equivalent S-(-)-sulfoxides. The structure of the sulfide significantly influenced both the yield and the optical purity of the predominant product. The biotransformations were catalysed exclusively by the Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases present in camphor-grown P. putida.
