Usage

Uses

Used in Agricultural Applications:
3-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyanopropanoic acid is used as a herbicide for controlling grassy weeds in various crops such as soybeans, cotton, and peanuts. It is applied to selectively eliminate unwanted grassy weeds without harming the broadleaf plants, ensuring healthy crop growth and yield.
Used in Non-Crop Areas:
3-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-cyanopropanoic acid is also used in non-crop areas such as lawns and golf courses to maintain a clean and weed-free environment. Its selective action ensures that the desired grass species are preserved while eliminating unwanted grassy weeds.

Enzymatic enantioselective ester hydrolysis by carboxylesterase NP

The enzymatic hydrolysis of a series of carboxylic esters by carboxylesterase NP has been investigated in order to determine the scope and limitations of this enzyme. 2-Substituted propionates were hydrolyzed with high enantioselectivity when an aromatic moiety was part of the 2-substituent.Enantioselective hydrolysis could be accomplished with several 2-arypropionates, 2-(aryloxy)propionates and N-arylalanine esters.The propionate esters yielded propionic acids as (S) enantiomers, whereas the alanine esters yielded the (R) enantiomers.Without a 2-aryl substituent, the enzymatic hydrolysis of the propionates occurred at a lower rate without acceptable enantioselectivity.In addition to 2-substituted propionates, only a few other esters were hydrolyzed with high enantioselectivity by carboxylesterase NP, such as some prochiral disubstituted malonates. 1-Phenylethylacetate was the only substrate with chirality in the alcohol part of the ester that was found to be hydrolyzed enantioselectively.Carboxylesterase NP proved to be a powerful enzyme for kinetic resolution of propionate esters with an aromatic ring containing a 2-substituent.
