Enantiomerically pure tetrahydro-5-oxo-2-furancarboxylic esters from dialkyl 2-oxoglutarates
摘要:
Enantiomerically pure tetrahydro-5-oxo-2-furancarboxylic esters can be prepared either by enzymatic resolution of the racemic gamma-lactones themselves or by bioreduction with baker's yeast of dialkyl 2-oxoglutarates and subsequent cyclization of the resulting dialkyl 2-hydroxyglutarates. The best results were obtained by the former route, by which the desired compounds were isolated in high enantiomeric excess. Bioreductions were less satisfactory. In fact the hydroxyester intermediates were initially formed as racemic mixtures and their final enantiomeric enrichment was reached by asymmetric destruction, occurring in the bioreaction medium, however at the same time large amounts of alkyl 4-hydroxybutanoates were formed as side products.

Combination strategy using pure enzymes and whole cells as biocatalysts for the preparation of 2-hydroxyesters and lactones from 2-oxoglutaric acid
摘要:
An innovative combination strategy that uses pure enzymes and whole microbial cells in the same process was used to prepare enantionterically pure 3-carboxyalkyl-gamma-butyrolactones and several alkyl esters of 2-hydroxyglutarates from 2-oxoglutaric acid. The method involves two consecutive biocatalytic steps. The first step, which converts the 2-oxoglutaric acid into the corresponding dialkyl esters, was catalyzed by a lipase. Then in the second step, by microbial reduction of the dialkyl-2-oxoglutarates, it is possible to obtain 3-carboxyalkyl-gamma-butyrolactones or 2-hydroxyesters depending on the length of the chain in the alkyl moiety of the esters and on the fresh or lyophilized status of the cells.
