Preparation of Optically Active 1-Aminoalkylphosphonic Acids by Stereoselective Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Racemic N-Acylated 1-Aminoalkylphosphonic Acids.-The preparation of the racemic title compounds (IV) is described. Enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of these using penicillin acylase proceeds in high enantioselectivity to afford the R-configurated enantiomers (V) in high yields and optical purities along with the protected (S)enantiomers (VI). Deprotection of these gives the S-configurated enantiomers (V). The kinetics of the enzymatic hydrolysis are investigated with the aim of optimization. -(SOLODENKO, V. A.; KASHEVA, T. N.; KUKHAR, V.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
