Abstract

While many methods have been reported for the synthesis of chiral 2-hydroxy acids, few of them have proven to be reliable toward the synthesis of the title compound in terms of overall yield and enantioselectivity. Herein we describe a continuous enzymatic process for an efficient synthesis of (R)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-hydroxy propionic acid at multikilogram scale with a high space-time yield (560 g/(L⊙ d)) using a membrane reactor. The product ...
