l-lactates in similar conditions. Lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of alkyl d- and l-lactates was also examined, revealing that the hydrolysis took place for both d- and l-lactates, although l-lactates proceeded a couple of times slower. The hydrolysis results clearly demonstrate that the lipase catalysis mechanism involves an acyl-enzyme intermediate (EM) formation via the acylation step from both d- and
首次研究了脂肪酶催化的d-和l-乳酸烷基酯单体(分别为RDLa和RLLa)的低聚反应。已经发现,低聚仅对d-乳酸酯发生对映选择性,从而通过使用伯C1-C8烷基和仲-丁基作为d-乳酸酯单体,以良好至高产率使低聚物达到乳酸(LA)的七聚体。在类似条件下,所有l-乳酸均未发生反应。烷基的脂肪酶催化的水解d -和升-lactates还检查,揭示了水解发生两个d -和升-l乳酸盐,尽管l-乳酸盐进行的速度慢了几倍。水解结果清楚地表明,脂肪酶的催化机制涉及通过d-和l-乳酸的酰化步骤形成酰基酶中间体(EM),作为速率确定步骤,随后的脱酰步骤是水的亲核攻击。到EM发生,以产生免费的LA。另一方面,在d-乳酸酯的低聚中,脱酰基步骤仅在sec - d内允许单体的仲醇基团或向EM传播的链端进攻的仲醇基团。-醇基团得到一个-LA-单元延长的低聚物。l-乳酸盐形成EM ; 然而,同时与随后的脱酰反应秒-升-和仲-
