In present work, the formation of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids have been described from various aromatic aldehydes and ketones via direct electrocarboxylation method with 80-92% of yield without any side product and can be purified by simple recrystallization using sacrificial Mg anode and Pt cathode in an undivided cell, CO2at (1 atm) was continuously bubbled in the cell throughout the reaction using tetrapropylammonium chloride as a supporting electrolyte in acetonitrile. The synthesized compounds obtained in fair to excellent yield with a high level of purity. The characterization of electrocarboxylated compounds was done with spectroscopic techniques like IR, NMR (1H & 13C), mass and elemental analysis.

Mandelate racemase (EC 5.1.2.2) is one of the few biochemically well-characterized racemases. The remarkable stability of this cofactor-independent enzyme and its broad substrate tolerance make it an ideal candidate for the racemization of non-natural α-hydroxycarboxylic acids under physiological reaction conditions to be applied in deracemization protocols in connection with a kinetic resolution step. This review summarizes all aspects of mandelate racemase relevant for the application of this enzyme in preparative-scale biotransformations with special emphasis on its substrate tolerance. Collection and evaluation of substrate structure-activity data led to a set of general guidelines, which were used as basis for the construction of a general substrate model, which allows a quick estimation of the expected activity for a given substrate.
Polyfunctional (R)-2-Hydroxycarboxylic Acids by Reduction of 2-Oxo Acids with Hydrogen Gas or Formate and Resting Cells of Proteus vulgaris

Various (R)-2-hydroxy acids such as (R)-2-hydroxy-3-enoic-, 3,5-dienoic-, 4-oxo-, (R,S)-3-hydroxy and some others were prepared on a scale up to 0.12 mol by biocatalytic reduction of the corresponding 2-oxo acids with P. vulgaris and hydrogen gas and/or formate as electron donors.With the exception of the 2-hydroxy-4-oxo acids it could be proved that the enantiomeric excess is >97 percent.For the 4-oxo derivatives this enantiomeric excess can be assumed.The yields of isolated products are high because they were isolated from rather small amounts of biocatalyst and low buffer concentrations.Product concentrations in the range of 0.1- 0.24 M were obtained.For 1 mmol of product formation in 15-20 h about 20-40 mg (dry weight) of P. vulgaris cells are necessary.
