Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) was found to be a highly active biocatalyst for the direct acylation of the phenolic hydroxyls of substituted hydroquinones and resorcinols with vinyl propanoate as an acyl donor. The acylation reactions took place generally in a very regioselective manner. Especially in the case of 4-substituted resorcinols, the hydroxyl remote from the substituent was regiospecifically
Candida antarctica lipase B proved to be a highly active biocatalyst for the direct acylation of phenolic hydroxy groups of substituted hydroquinones and resorcinols, which have rarely been reported so far. More importantly, the acylation reactions took place generally in a markedly regioselective manner: the hydroxy group remote from the substituent was preferentially acylated. In the case of substituted

Disclosed is a method for detecting guaiacol-producing bacteria in a specimen comprising culturing the specimen or a dilution thereof on a plate of a solid medium for acidophilic bacteria comprising a compound represented by the following formula, wherein R is -H, -OH, -C(O)H, -C(O)CH3, -COOH, C1-C3 alkyl or C1-C3 alkenyl, wherein alkyl and alkenyl may optionally be substituted by -OH, -C(O) H or -COOH); and detecting a colony formed on the solid medium. According to preferred embodiments, the solid medium for acidophilic bacteria comprises 50 ppm or more of vanillic acid and the plate culture is carried out at 20°C to 55°C. The present invention also provides a solid medium for acidophilic bacteria and a kit for detection of guaiacol-producing bacteria in a specimen. According to the present invention, guaiacol-producing bacteria present in a specimen such as fruit juice raw materials can be detected rapidly in a simple manner.
Secondary alcohols act as better nucleophiles than primary alcohols in the lipase-catalyzed regioselective deacylation of dihydroxybenzenes acylated at both phenolic hydroxyls
Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) was found to be highly regioselective as well as active in the deacylation of resorcinols and hydroquinones acylated at both phenolic hydroxyls. Contrary to expectation, secondary alcohols acted as better nucleophiles than primary alcohols in these enzymatic deacylations. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
