专利号:US-2002192767-A1 优先权日:1999-10-13 标题 :Biosynthesis of polyketide synthase substrates 发明人:KHOSLA CHAITAN; PFEIFER BLAINE 摘要:The use of enzymes which catalyze the production of starter and extender units for polyketides is described. In addition, modified loading modules are described, which can accept a variety of starting units such as substituted benzoates, and which can be used to generate substituted derivatives of natural products. These enzymes may be used to enhance the yield of polyketides that are natively produced or polyketides that are rationally designed. By using these techniques, the synthesis of a complete polyketide has been achieved in E. coli . Production can be enhanced in microbial organisms of polyketides and other secondary metabolites by delaying production until after exponential phase and by maintaining relatively constant nutrient levels in the medium. In addition, polyketide production can be enhanced by providing an expression system for a thioesterase II. Thus, by modifying the host organism and changing the culture conditions, synthesis of a secondary metabolite can be enhanced. The present invention also results in a host organism with desirable characteristics to be used in the production of such polyketides and to assess the results of gene shuffling.

The process for the preparation of a bimetallic ruthenium/tin catalyst according to the invention is characterised by the fact that it consists in carrying out the reduction of a ruthenium complex having an electrovalency of -4 and a coordination number of 6, the ligands being either a halogen atom or an anion or a tin halide. The catalyst is further employed for the preparation of aldehydes by reduction, in the vapor phase, of carboxylic acids, esters and anhydrides.

In particular, a metal-catalyzed C-H activation/borylation reaction is described, which when followed by direct oxidation in a single or separate reaction vessel affords phenols without the need for any intermediate manipulations. More particularly, a process wherein Ir-catalyzed borylation of arenes using pinacolborane (HBPin) followed by oxidation of the intermediate arylboronic ester by OXONE is described.
