METHOD FOR ENZYMATIC PRODUCTION OF ENANTIOMERICALLY ENRICHED N-UNPROTECTED beta-AMINO ACID, beta-AMINO ACID-n- PROPYL ESTER AND USE THEREOF

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for enzymatic production of an enantiomerically enriched -amino acid, an advantageous ester of the -amino acid represented by general formula (I), and use thereof in a method of the enzymatic production of the enantiomerically enriched -amino acid. PSOLUTION: The method for the enzymatic production of the enantiomerically enriched -amino acid involves enzymatically hydrolyzing an enantiomer mixture of an N-unprotected -amino acid ester by a hydrolytic enzyme without using a corresponding methyl or ethyl ester.
