The present invention is to provide a method for preparing easily and efficiently β-butyrolactones and/or optically active 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives in high optical purity by use of an easily available hydrolase, which are useful as intermediates for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and the like. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for preparing β-butyrolactones and/or optically active 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid derivatives with an optical purity of substantially 100% ee, comprising reacting a β-butyrolactone which is a mixture of optical isomers, with a nucleophilic agent in the presence of a hydrolase, provided that a lipase derived from porcine pancreas is excluded.
本发明提供了一种使用易得的水解酶高效制备β-丁内酯和/或高光学纯度的光学活性3-羟基羧酸衍生物的方法,这些衍生物作为制药、农药等中间体具有应用价值。更具体地说,本发明涉及一种制备β-丁内酯和/或光学活性3-羟基羧酸衍生物的方法,其光学纯度达到实质上100% ee,包括在水解酶的存在下,用亲核试剂反应混合光学异构体的β-丁内酯,但不包括来自猪胰脂肪酶的酶。
