Abstract
Continuous processing technologies have been shown to be a powerful concept in order to tune reaction conditions in a very precise manner, enhance the sustainability and facilitate the scale-up of the chemical processes involving hazardous reagents. This becomes even more important during those multi-step approaches, where the use of modular components for the downstream processing together with automated in-line analytics allow the control and coordination of all the stages of the processes. In spite of these advantages, surprisingly few applications to multi-step biocatalytic strategies in flow1 have been reported so far in contrast to discrete single-step biotransformations.2 The advantages of the continuous flow technology will be described with regard to a novel orthogonal biocatalytic approach, involving two sequential biotransformations, towards the preparation of chiral Oacetylcyanohydrins. Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CalB) and hydroxynitrile lyase from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtHNL) were employed in a robust continuous telescoped process, involving an in situ HCN generation followed by addition to aldehydes and an in-line stabilization of products (scheme 1). Using the formation of (R)-mandelonitrile as an example, the process was optimized with both immobilized isolated enzyme (celite-AtHNL) and whole-recombinant E. coli BL21-DE3 cells expressing AtHNL as biocatalysts.3 Key process parameters and the further applications will be reported. 1 a) Babich, L.; Hartog, A.
