Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an optically active alpha-halocarboxylic acid ester or an optically active carboxylic acid which is the antipode of the former acid, in high yield, by carrying out symmetric hydrolysis of racemic alpha-halocarboxylic acid ester with specific enzyme and separating the produced acid from remaining ester. CONSTITUTION:A racemic alpha-halocarboxylic acid of formula (R is 1-20C saturated or unsaturated alkyl; R' is straight or branched alkyl, aralkyl or cyclohexyl; X is halogen atom) is subjected to asymmetric hydrolysis with lipase which is an enzyme originated from a microbial strain belonging to Humicola genus. The produced acid is separated from the remaining ester and collected.

In view of these circumstances, the present inventors conducted intensive studies to industrially produce an optically active form of the ester represented by the general formula (I) or an optically active acid that is its enantiomer. As a result, we conducted a wide search for lipases and esterases that can hydrolyze the ester represented by the general formula (I), and found that enzymes (lipases) obtained from microorganisms belonging to the genus Humicola.
However, it was discovered that the ester represented by the general formula (I) can be asymmetrically hydrolyzed efficiently in an extremely short period of time and with high optical selectivity, and the present invention has been completed.
