PREPARATION OF (S)-PIPERAZINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID, (R)-PIPERAZINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID, AND (S)-PIPERIDINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID BY KINETIC RESOLUTION OF THE CORRESPONDING RACEMIC CARBOXAMIDES WITH STEREOSELECTIVE AMIDASES IN WHOLE BACTERIAL-CELLS
E. Eichhorn et al., PREPARATION OF (S)-PIPERAZINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID, (R)-PIPERAZINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID, AND (S)-PIPERIDINE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID BY KINETIC RESOLUTION OF THE CORRESPONDING RACEMIC CARBOXAMIDES WITH STEREOSELECTIVE AMIDASES IN WHOLE BACTERIAL-CELLS, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 8(15), 1997, pp. 2533-2536
Whole bacterial cells containing stereospecific amidases were used for
the kinetic resolution of racemic piperazine-2-carboxamide and piperi
dine-2-carboxamide to (S)- and (R)-piperazine-2-carboxylic acid, and (
S)-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid, respectively. (S)-Piperazinecarboxyli
c acid dihydrochloride produced with the biocatalysts Klebsiella terri
gena DSM 9174 had an ee value of 99.4% (41% yield), and the ee value o
f (R)-piperazinecarboxylic acid dihydrochloride obtained with Burkhold
eria sp. DSM 9925 was 99.0% (22% yield). Using Pseudomonas fluorescens
DSM 9924 (S)-piperidine-2-carboxylic acid with an ee value of 97.3% (
20% yield) was isolated. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
