METHOD FOR ENZYMATIC CHIMIOSELECTIVE HYDROLYSIS OF A DIESTER COMPOUND FOR PREPARING A MONOACIDE MONOESTER COMPOUND

摘要

A method for the synthesis of alkyl 2-alkoxy-4-carboxymethyl-benzoate esters (I) involves enzymatic hydrolysis of the corresponding alkyl diesters (II) using an enzyme which brings about the chemoselective hydrolysis of only one of the two ester groups in (II). A method for the synthesis of compounds of formula (I) by the enzymatic hydrolysis of compounds of formula (II) involves bringing (II) into contact with an enzyme which can bring about the chemoselective hydrolysis of only one of the two ester groups in (II).
