Latest Patents
One of Huayong Chen's latest patents is a method for enzymatic resolution of chiral substances. This invention discloses a process that includes preparing an enzyme solution with a lipase concentration of 1-3000 U/mL. The method incorporates a three-liquid phase system, which consists of a soluble salt, a hydrophilic solvent, and a hydrophobic solvent containing esters or amide compounds composed of racemic chiral compounds. The enzymatic reaction is conducted under stirring conditions, leading to the separation of the product into three distinct layers. This method addresses challenges such as low chiral resolution efficiency and poor chiral selectivity, while also being energy-efficient and suitable for industrial applications.
Another notable patent by Huayong Chen is an enzymatic method for preparing glyceryl butyrate. This process involves an esterification reaction between n-butyric acid and glycerol, utilizing lipase as a catalyst along with ethyl acetate and/or ethyl formate as additives. The method operates under mild conditions, reducing energy consumption and avoiding side reactions. The use of additives enhances the catalytic efficiency of lipase, resulting in a higher conversion rate of butyric acid.
