Preparation of enantiomerically pure 3-heteryl-2-methylpropanoic and 3-heterylbutanoic acids by enzymatic kinetic resolution

A new approach has been developed for synthesizing important compounds with potential biological activity − enantiomerically pure 3-heteryl-2-methylpropanoic and 3-heterylbutanoic acids. The kinetic dynamic enzymatic resolution methodology was applied at key synthesis stages. A dual biocatalytic purification method was employed to achieve a high degree of optical purity of the obtained products. The resulting amines are promising building blocks for the development and production of new pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds.
