Abstract

Deracemizations are clearly preferable to kinetic resolutions in the production of chiral molecules from racemates, as they allow up to 100% chemical and optical yield. Here we present a new process route for multienzymatic deracemizations that is relevant for reaction systems with incompatible reaction conditions of the biocatalysts. This often applies to combinations of lipases used for stereoselective acylation and solvent-sensitive racemases. By encapsulating a model racemase in polymeric vesicles, it was protected from inactivation by the organic solvent up to phase proportions of 99%. As high yields in the lipase reaction required either water proportions well below 1% or racemase-denaturating acyl donor concentrations, a one-pot reaction was implemented through the sequential use of lipase and racemase-containing nanocompartments. This strategy allowed us to perform two kinetic resolutions with intermittent re-racemization in one pot yielding 72% (0.72 mM after 120 h) of an enantiopure product.
