摘要:
A novel polypeptide capable of forming tert-butyl (3R,5S)-6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate; and a polynucleotide encoding the same. Namely, a polypeptide which has an enzymatic activity of assymetrically reducing tert-butyl (S)-6-chloro-5-hydroxy-3-oxohexanoate to give tert-butyl (3R,5S)-6-chloro-3,5-dihydroxyhexanoate and contains the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 in Sequence Listing or an amino acid sequence derived from the above amino acid sequence by the substitution, insertion, deletion or addition of at lease one amino acid.
摘要:
The present invention is related to producing (R)-2-hydroxy-1-phenoxypropane derivatives, which are of value as intermediates of pharmaceuticals, with high optical purity and good efficiency,
comprising a step of reducing a phenoxyacetone derivative with a carbonyl reductase derived from a microorganism of the genus Candida or a culture broth or processed culture broth of said microorganism having the ability to elaborate the carbonyl reductase.
摘要:
This invention provides a process for producing optically active 2-[6-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxan-4-yl] acetic acid derivatives, which are of value as intermediates of drugs, from inexpensive starting materials without using any special equipment such as that required for super-low temperature reactions. A process for producing optically active 2-[6-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dioxan-4-yl]acetic acid derivatives which comprises
reacting an acetic acid derivative at a temperature of not less than -30°C with an enolate prepared by permitting either a base or a metal having a valency of 0 to act on the derivative to produce a hydroxyoxohexanoic acid derivative, reducing this compound with the aid of a strain of microorganism to provide a halomethyldioxanylacetic acid derivative, treating this compound with an acetalizing agent in the presence of an acid catalyst to provide a halomethyldioxanylacetic acid derivative, reacted with an acyloxylating agent to provide a acyloxymethyldioxanylacetic acid derivative, and subjecting this compound to solvolysis in the presence of a base.
