RESOLUTION OF NONPROTEIN AMINO-ACIDS VIA MICROBIAL PROTEASE-CATALYZEDESTER HYDROLYSIS - MARKED ENHANCEMENT OF ENANTIOSELECTIVITY BY THE USE OF ESTERS WITH LONGER ALKYL CHAINS AND AT LOW-TEMPERATURE
T. Miyazawa et al., RESOLUTION OF NONPROTEIN AMINO-ACIDS VIA MICROBIAL PROTEASE-CATALYZEDESTER HYDROLYSIS - MARKED ENHANCEMENT OF ENANTIOSELECTIVITY BY THE USE OF ESTERS WITH LONGER ALKYL CHAINS AND AT LOW-TEMPERATURE, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 8(3), 1997, pp. 367-370
In the microbial protease-catalyzed hydrolysis of amino acid esters wi
th the free alpha-amino group, the enantioselectivity can be enhanced
greatly by employing esters with longer alkyl chains such as the isobu
tyl ester instead of the conventional methyl ester and by conducting t
he reaction at low temperature. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rig
