In this paper, we study the activity and specificity of EstDZ2, a new thermostable carboxyl esterase of unknown function, which was isolated from a metagenome library from a Russian hot spring. The biocatalytic reaction employing EstDZ2 proved to be an efficient method for the hydrolysis of aryl p-, o- or m-substituted esters of butyric acid and esters of secondary alcohols. Docking studies revealed structural features of the enzyme that led to activity differences among the different substrates.

Straightforward synthetic strategies for the preparation of optically active Mugetanol isomers have been developed through different independent chemoenzymatic routes implying the use of either alcohol dehydrogenases in aqueous media or lipases in organic

, p. 87 - 99 (2007/10/03)
Nitration of substituted benzyl alcohols, as well as ethers and esters derived therefrom, with nitric acid in acetic anhydride was studied. The corresponding o-nitrobenzyl alcohols and their derivatives formed as the primary products are capable of being converted into o-nitrosoacylbenzenes by the action of acids.
