The present invention is concerned with a process of preparing (R)-lacosamide. The process comprises providing an (R,S)-lacosamide precursor and contacting the same with at least an enzyme in the presence of a solvent. The enzyme either stereoselectively hydrolyzes or acetylates an (R)- or (S)-enantiomer of the (R,S)-lacosamide precursor. The process further comprises where appropriate also concurrently, or successively, employing one or more reagents capable of converting the hydrolysed or acetylated (R)- or (S)-enantiomer to (R)- lacosamide.
本发明涉及一种制备(R)-拉科莎胺的方法。该方法包括提供(R,S)-拉科莎胺前体,并在溶剂存在下与至少一种酶接触。酶可以立体选择性地
水解或乙酰化(R)-或(S)-对映体的(R,S)-拉科莎胺前体。该方法还包括,在适当的情况下同时或依次使用能够将
水解或乙酰化的(R)-或(S)-对映体转化为(R)-拉科莎胺的一种或多种试剂。
