โฆ Synopsis
Preparation of Optically Active N-Benzyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine by Enzymatic Hydroxylation.
-Various alkane-degrading microorganisms, which are known to contain an alkane hydroxylase system, are tested for their ability to hydroxylate N-benzylpyrrolidine (I) to the target N-benzylhydroxypyrrolidine derivative (II). The best results are obtained for HXN-1100 and HXN-200 strains, which provide the (R)-or the (S)enantiomer in 70% and 53% optical purity, resp., and in good yields.
