Abstract: | Summary Pig liver esterase (EC 3.1.1.1) catalyzed hydrolysis of the dimetrhy ester of meso-cis-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid yielded the optically pure (1S,2R)-monoester. The corresponding diethyl ester yielded racemic monoester.The diethyl ester of racemic trans-1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid was kinetically resolved by partial hydrolysis with subtilisin (EC 3.4.21.14) or pig liver esterase. The (1R,2R)-monoester had an enantiomeric excess of 45% and was obtained in an enantiomerically pure form through recrystallisation. The remaining (1S,2S)-diester exhibited an enantiomeric excess of 83%. The nature of the ester function (methyl, ethyl, and propyl esters) had a great influence on the enantiomeric excess obtained and on the kinetic parameters. |
