The invention belongs to the technical field of
biochemistry, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing a
flavanone compound through nano-
enzyme catalyzed
carbene transfer and intramolecular ring closing. The monatomic nano-
enzyme is applied to
catalysis of non-natural reaction, and the monatomic nano-
enzyme is found to have the capability of mediating
carbene transfer. 24
flavanone compounds are successfully synthesized by catalyzing a substrate
diazo compound through the screened nano-enzyme and
organic solvent, and the yield for a plurality of substrates of the type is high. The method disclosed by the invention is simple to operate, mild in condition, low in catalyst cost, high in stability and long in service life, a nano-
enzyme catalysis method is good in substrate universality, a mild and direct method is provided for synthesizing the
flavanone compound, and the method has a very good industrial application prospect.
