The present invention discloses a process which comprises selectively hydrolyzing one enantiomer of racemic mixtures of an N-substituted β-amino acid alkyl ester or N-substituted 2-homopipecolic acid ester represented by the formula (I):
wherein Ar, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are the same as defined in the specification,
in the presence of a hydrolase to form an optically active ((R) or (S))-N-substituted β-amino acid or optically active ((R) or (S))-N-substituted 2-homopipecolic acid represented by the formula (II):
and simultaneously to obtain an unreacted optically active ((S) or (R))-N-substituted β-amino acid alkyl ester or unreacted optically active ((S) or (R))-N-substituted 2-homopipecolic acid ester represented by the formula (III):
which has a reverse steric absolute configuration to that of the compound represented by the formula (II).
本发明公开了一种工艺,该工艺包括选择性地水解由式(I)代表的 N-取代β-氨基酸烷基酯或 N-取代 2-高哌啶酸酯的外消旋混合物中的一种对映体:
其中 Ar、R1、R2、R3、R4 和 R5 与说明书中定义的相同、
在水解酶存在下,生成光学活性((R)或(S))-N-取代的 β-氨基酸或光学活性((R)或(S))-N-取代的由式(II)代表的 2-高代联哌醇酸:
并同时得到未反应的具有光学活性的((S)或(R))-N-取代的 β-氨基酸烷基酯或未反应的具有光学活性的((S)或(R))-N-取代的 2-高代联哌羧酸酯,由式(III)代表:
其立体绝对构型与式 (II) 所代表化合物的立体绝对构型相反。
