The present invention provides a process for producing optically active compounds by a biochemical method in which specific compounds having hydroxyl groups are reacted with esters in the presence of hydrolases. The compounds have the following general formula:
wherein X is selected from halogen atoms and a cyano group. Y is selected from the group constituting substituted phenyl groups, halogen atoms, cyano, trifluoromethyl and amino groups and alkylamino and alkyloxycarbonyl groups in which alkyl groups have 1-20 carbon atoms. R is an alkylene group having 1-20 carbon atoms and n is 0 or 1.
本发明提供了一种通过生化方法生产光学活性化合物的工艺,在这种方法中,具有羟基的特定化合物在
水解酶的存在下与酯发生反应。这些化合物的通式如下
其中 X 选自卤素原子和
氰基。Y 选自取代苯基、卤素原子、
氰基、三
氟甲基和
氨基以及烷基
氨基和烷氧羰基(其中烷基具有 1-20 个碳原子)组成的基团。R 是具有 1-20 个碳原子的亚烷基,n 是 0 或 1。
