- Efficient preparation of both enantiomers of 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2- methylpropanoic acid catalyzed by Shinella sp. R-6 and Arthrobacter sp. S-2
-
Several microorganisms that can enantioselectively hydrolyze 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide have been isolated from soil samples. These strains were capable of growing in a medium containing 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide as the sole nitrogen source. Among them, Shinella sp. R-6 was identified as a strain capable of exhibiting R-selective hydrolysis activity, while Arthrobacter sp. S-2 was capable of exhibiting S-selective hydrolysis activity. The preparation of both enantiomers of 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid via the two-step whole-cell reaction was investigated using these two strains.

- Selection, purification, characterisation, and cloning of a novel heat-stable stereo-specific amidase from Klebsiella oxytoca, and its application in the synthesis of enantiomerically pure (R)- and (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acids and (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionamide
-
We isolated, characterised, and cloned an enantio-specific amidase from Klebsiella oxytoca and used it to resolve (R,S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionamide, giving (R)3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid and (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionamide. The (S)-amide could then be hydrolysed chemically to (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid. The process can therefore be adapted to produce both (R)-and (S)-enantiomers of 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionic acid, or (S)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropionamide. The biocatalytic step is part of a combined chemical and biocatalytic route that starts from ethyl trifluoroacetoacetate. The products typically have a purity of greater than 98% and ee values of essentially 100% after isolation. The process has been used to produce 100-g amounts of the (S)-acid, and successfully scaled up to produce 100-kg amounts of the (R)-acid, with the biotransformation carried out at the 1500-L scale.
