D-Tryptophan and its derivatives are important precursors of a wide range of indole-containing pharmaceuticals and natural products. Here, we developed a one-pot biocatalytic process enabling the synthesis of D-tryptophans from indoles in good yields and high enantiomeric excess (91% to >99%). Our method couples the synthesis of L-tryptophans catalyzed by Salmonella enterica tryptophan synthase with a stereoinversion cascade mediated by Proteus myxofaciens L-amino acid deaminase and an aminotransferase variant that we engineered to display native-like activity toward D-tryptophan. Our process is applicable to preparative-scale synthesis of a broad range of D-tryptophan derivatives containing electron-donating or -withdrawing substituents at all benzene-ring positions on the indole group. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 5-Fluoro-1H-indole(cas: 399-52-0Product Details of 399-52-0)
5-Fluoro-1H-indole(cas: 399-52-0) is a member of aromaticfluorinated building blocks. Depending on which substituents are present, fluoroaromatic intermediates can be converted into fluorinated or fluorine-free commercial end products.Fluorine-containing aromatics have been incorporated into drugs (hypnotics, tranquilizers, antiinflammatory agents, analgesics, antibacterials).Product Details of 399-52-0
