Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for resolution of racemic modification of an amino acid by an enzymatic catalytic reaction capable of assuring a high enantiomer reactivity, being used in a wide range of reaction conditions and requiring only a small amount of a catalyst as less as possible. SOLUTION: An optically active amino acid ester is produced from a racemic amino acid ester with an acid component as an acylating agent using a carboxylic acid ester containing a halogen atom, a nitrogen atom, an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom adjoining to a carbonyl carbon atom in the presence of a hydrolase selected from the group comprising an amidase, a protease, an esterase and a lipase and successively a nonacylated amino acid ester of an enantioselectively acylated amino acid ester is separated from another enantiomer.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for resolving racemates of alkoxy-substituted primary amines by reacting with an ester in the presence of a lipase and subsequently separating the optically active amide which is formed from the unreacted optically active amine. This is followed where appropriate by hydrolysis of the optically active amide, separation of the optically active amine produced thereby from the acid from which the ester is derived, racemization and recycling of the unwanted enantiomer of the amine, and esterification and recycling of the acid.
