A process for producing optically active (R)-amino compounds which comprises treating an aralkyl alkyl ketone compound (the amino receptor) coexisting with a racemic or (R)-amino compound (the amino donor) with an (R)-specific transaminase produced by a microorganism belonging to the genus Arthrobacter and thus effecting stereoselective transamination. This process makes it possible to facilitate the production in a high yield of optically active (R)-amino compounds, etc., having aryl, etc. at the 1-position which have been difficult to synthesize by the conventional techniques.
一种生产光学活性(R)-
氨基化合物的工艺,包括用一种由节肢动物属微
生物产生的(R)特异性转
氨酶处理与外消旋或(R)-
氨基化合物(
氨基供体)共存的芳基烷基酮化合物(
氨基受体),从而实现立体选择性转
氨作用。通过这种工艺,可以高产率地生产出在 1 位上具有芳基等光学活性的(R)-
氨基化合物等,而这些化合物用传统技术很难合成。
