Nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of α-(arylthio)- and α-(alkylthio)alkanoic acids

Dynamic solution: The title acids undergo dynamic kinetic resolution during an enantioselective esterification catalyzed by (S)-homobenzotetramisole ((S)-HBTM; see scheme). This method extends the scope of the carboxylic acid derivatives that are amenable to the nonenzymatic version of this transformation. Copyright

Trichosporon beigelli esterase (TBE): A versatile esterase for the resolution of economically important racemates

A hydrolase producing strain Trichosporon beigelli esterase (TBE) isolated from local cottage cheese in its native form has displayed versatility and high efficacy in the kinetic resolution of a wide range of economically important substrates, which include racemic secondary alcohols, such as 1-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)ethanol (E ～ 316), 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl) ethanol and pentanol (E ～ 180 and 156 resp.), and alkyl esters of carboxylic acids such as ibuprofen (E ～ 340), 2-(benzylthio)propanoic acid (E ～ 1000). In other substrates such as in the primary alcohol 2-(6-methoxy-2- naphthyl)propan-1-ol and carboxylic acids such as 2-(5-bromo-6-methoxy-2- naphthyl)propanoic acid, 2-(2-naphthyloxy)propanoic acid, and substituted 2-thiopropanoic acids, it displayed moderate to low selectivity. Commercial lipases such as CCL, PPL, and PSL were also used in the resolution of the substrates for comparative studies.
