Abstract

Herein the efficient kinetic resolution of non-natural alpha-amino acids catalyzed by lipase AS 'Amano'via cleaving the amide bond is reported. The starting materials were the corresponding amino acid amides and the amino acids were generated with ees of up to 99% with E values of> 600. These results indicated that the lipase AS 'Amano'could be a powerful amide hydrolase for the kinetic resolution of amino acid starting from the ...
