Problems solved by technology

Since the kinetic resolution of monoamine oxidase requires the use of expensive and highly toxic borane, and artificial imine reductase requires the use of expensive iridium catalysts with low conversion and e.e., these enzyme-catalyzed methods have major defects. not suitable for actual production
Correspondingly, it is more advantageous to directly use imine reductase (IRED) to reduce the imine substrate 1a to synthesize (S)-1b; No corresponding IRED was found that can catalyze the reduction of compound 1a
Until recently, Zheng et al. reported the first imine reductase SnIRED from the microorganism Stackebrandtia nassauensis (Org. Lett. 2017, 19, 3151-3154), which can directly reduce the imine compound 1a to obtain (S)-1b( following formula C); but because its catalytic conversion rate and the e.e. value of product only have 81% and 51%, still can't satisfy actual production requirement
It can be seen that although enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of 1-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline compounds has begun to attract people's attention, from the current reports, either the optical purity of the product is not high, or the operation is complicated The conditions are harsh, or the catalyst is not easy to obtain, and the application in actual industrial production is greatly limited

Embodiment 1

[0045] Embodiment 1 Obtaining of imine reductase of the present invention

[0046] (1) Acquisition of the gene encoding imine reductase

[0047] The three imine reductases (IR45, IR96 and IR99) with catalytic ability obtained in the present invention are obtained by screening the imine reductase enzyme library to catalyze the reaction of compounds 1a-4a (the following formula). The imine reductase enzyme library is the 100 genes that may encode imine reductase constructed by the applicant in the early stage. The DNA sequences of these 100 genes are optimized according to the codon preference of Escherichia coli and sent to the company for synthesis. The codon-optimized genes were respectively added with NdeI (CATATG) restriction site at the 5' end and HindⅢ (TTCACT) restriction site at the 3' end, and cloned into pET28a plasmid to obtain recombinant plasmids pET28a-IR45, pET28a- IR96, pET28a-IR99.
