Synthesis of methyl (R)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)glutarate via enzymatic desymmetrization of a prochiral diester

Add time:07/11/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

An efficient procedure for enzymatic desymmetrization of the prochiral dimethyl 3-(4-fluorophenyl)glutarate (3-DFG) in an aqueous–organic phase was successfully developed to prepare methyl (R)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)glutarate ((R)-3-MFG). Novozym 435 was selected as a highly efficient biocatalyst through lipase screening. The effects of various parameters in terms of co-solvent and its concentration, buffer pH, ionic strength and reaction temperature, on the reaction were investigated. It was found that 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) containing 20% MTBE (v/v) was the optimum reaction medium, and the optimum reaction temperature was 30 °C. Under the optimized reaction conditions, (R)-3-MFG was obtained in 95.6% ee value and 92.6% yield after 64 h when the concentration of 3-DFG and Novozym 435 were 200 mmol/l and 20 g/l respectively. Furthermore, Novozym 435 showed an excellent operational stability, retaining above 95% of the initial activity and enantioselectivity after 10 cycles of reaction. The developed method has a potential to be used for efficient enzymatic production of (R)-3-MFG.
