摘要:
The hydantoinase process was shown to be extendable to the production of highly lipophilic, silicon-containing amino acids. Two hydantoinases of different origin and stereoselectivities and one L-N-carbamoylase were used for the highly stereoselective bioconversion of (dimethyl)phenylsilyl- and 1-methyl-1-silacyclopentyl substituted alanine derivatives. The enantiomeric purities and absolute configuration of the products were determined with reference compounds that were synthesized with the aid of the Evans oxazolidinone auxiliary.
