- Preparation method of (R)-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propionic acid
-
The invention provides a preparation method of (R)-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propionic acid, and belongs to the technical field of pesticide intermediates. Phenol compounds (parachlorophenol, p-bromophenol, p-iodophenol or p-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid) are adopted as raw materials and react with (S)-(-)-2-chloropropionic acid to synthesize R-(+)-2-(4-chlorophenoxy) propionic acid, and the (R)-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propionic acid is obtained after hydrogen hydrolysis. The raw material phenol compound used in the invention is low in price and simple in process operation; and the method avoids using hydroquinone as a raw material, and solves the problems of high raw material cost, difficult product purification and low product quality caused by hydroquinone disubstituted impurities generated in the reaction when hydroquinone is used as a raw material for synthesis in the traditional method.

- Microbial deracemization of α-substituted carboxylic acids: Substrate specificity and mechanistic investigation
-
A new enzymatic method for the preparation of optically active α-substituted carboxylic acids is reported. This technique is called deracemization reaction, which provides us with a route to obtain the enantiomerically pure compounds, theoretically in 100% yield starting from the racemic mixture. This means that the synthesis of a racemate is almost equal to the synthesis of the optically active compound, and this concept is entirely different from the commonly accepted one in the asymmetric synthesis. Using the growing cell system of Nocardia diaphanozonaria JCM3208, racemates of 2-aryl- and 2-aryloxypropanoic acid are deracemized smoothly and (R)-form-enriched products are recovered in high chemical yield (>50%). In addition, using optically active starting compounds and deuterated derivatives as well as inhibitors, we have disclosed the fact that a new type of enzyme takes part in this biotransformation, and that the reaction proceeds probably via the same mechanism as that in rat liver.

- Microbial deracemization of alpha-substituted carboxylic acids.
-
An enzyme system of Nocardia diaphanozonaria JCM 3208 catalyzes the inversion of the chirality of various alpha-substituted carboxylic acids, such as 2-phenylpropanoic acid and 2-phenoxypropanoic acid derivatives, via a novel deracemization reaction.
