The yeast mediated reduction of a range of á- and â-deutero substituted nitrostyrenes has been conducted
in light petroleum in the presence of a small amount of water or D
2
O. NMR analysis of the products from
these reactions has allowed the determination of the mechanism of this yeast reduction reaction.
The results indicate that initially, a reversible non-stereoselective protonation occurs at the â-centre,
followed by stereoselective addition of hydride at the á-position.
Introduction
The yeast mediated reduction of b-nitrostyrenes † has been stud-
ied using yeast in both an aqueous
1,2
and an organic solvent
system.

In all cases reported, the reduction of nitrostyrenes
with substituents in the

-substituted nitrostyrenes. The lack of stereo-
selectivity in the aqueous systems had been attributed to
racemisation of the product under the mildly basic reaction
conditions,
4
however it was shown that this racemisation was
not occurring in the organic solvent system.
3
In order to explain
this unusual lack of stereoselectivity associated with a yeast
reduction reaction, a clearer understanding of the reaction
mechanism is required.
Even though yeast has been extensively used to effect chiral
reductions in organic synthesis
5
very little work has been
undertaken to elucidate the mode of action of this reduction
reaction. Fuganti and co-workers have studied the mechanism
of the yeast mediated reduction of cinnamyl alcohol and cin-
namaldehyde (Scheme 1)

The product obtained had a specific rotation of

product the nitro group was reduced to the amine using LiAlH

and the Mosher’s amide formed. NMR analysis of the amide in
the presence of the shift reagent Eu(fod)
3
indicated a 61% ee
based upon integration of the proton at the
a
-centre. The find-
ing that the reduction was partially stereoselective is not sur-
prising since
a
-nitrostyrene is stereoselectively reduced
by yeast in an aqueous reaction system;

it is at the b-centre that
the lack of stereoselectivity has been observed.

fashion. The yeast reduction of nitrostyrenes must involve a
somewhat different mechanism since a racemic product results.

possible to directly observe the reversible nature of the proton-
ation in this case due to the presence of the methyl group.
The fact that no deuterium loss occurs in the reduction of

gether, these two observations confirm that the hydrogen atoms
bound to the b-carbon in 2-nitro-1-phenylethane
4
are non-
exchangeable under the reaction conditions; the exchange at
the b-centre must therefore be occurring prior to product
formation.
Reduction of b-deutero-b-nitrostyrene
3
using a small
amount of yeast (7 g mmol

and the recovered starting material

solely at the a-carbon. The electronic preference for hydride

Other workers have concluded that in yeast mediated reduction
reactions conducted in aqueous systems, the yeast delivers the
hydride but the proton comes from the water.

If this mechan-
ism is reflected in the present system, replacing the water with
D

O should result in little or no loss of deuterium from the
b-centre. Reduction of b-deutero-b-nitrostyrene

via
reduction of non-deuterated nitro-
styrene, rather than by loss of deuterium from the reduced
product.
The production of both deuterated and non-deuterated
products and substrates in the reaction can best be explained if
the initial step in the reaction is a reversible protonation of the
nitrostyrene at the
-nitrostyrene
6
and 2-nitro-1-phenylethane

as
well as the corresponding b-deuterated analogues,

and

reports on the mechanism of yeast reduction of carbon–
carbon double bonds have not determined whether hydride
attack or protonation occurs first, but have assumed that the
mechanism is similar to metal hydride reduction where hydride
attack is the first step. Clearly, in the case of nitrostyrenes, the
first step in the reduction is a yeast catalysed protonation rather
than a hydride attack.

Whilst the foregoing reactions have provided considerable evi-
dence regarding the mechanism of the yeast mediated reduction
of b-nitrostyrenes, of more interest was the mechanism of
reduction of
-nitrostyrenes, since this reaction pro-
duces a potentially useful chiral centre, as previously mentioned
however, all attempts to date have produced racemic material.

dideuterated product was confirmed by

H TOCSY NMR
spectroscopy. A crosspeak was observed between the deuterium
signals at the 1- and 2-position indicating that both signals
came from a single molecule. This result strongly suggests that
some exchange is occuring between the D
2
O and the NADPH
in the yeast, so that the yeast can deliver both a deuteride and a
deuteron.
Further evidence for this exchange came from the reduction
of b-methyl-b-nitrostyrene

seen in a

H–
1
H COSY NMR experiment which showed no
crosspeak between the two diastereotopic protons at the
a-position indicating there was no material present containing
two protons at this carbon atom and therefore complete reten-
tion of the deuterium had occurred. This retention of deuter-
ium supports the mechanism proposed for the reduction of
b-nitrostyrenes, with reversible protonation occurring at the

ethene (0.15 g, 1 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of 12 ml
chloroform (8 ml per g silica gel) and 2.3 ml isopropanol (1.5 ml
per g silica gel) and stirred with 1 g silica gel. NaBD
4
(0.16 g, 4.1
mmol) was added in small amounts, until the yellow colour due
to the nitrostyrene disappeared. The mixture was then filtered,
washed with brine (15 ml), extracted with dichloromethane (20
ml), dried over NaSO
4
and the dichloromethane evaporated
in
vacuo
to give the title compound (0.11 g, 73%);
