Nongyuan Shi

A process for stabilizing enantiomer-enriched cyanohydrins where citric acid and/or boric acid or boric anhydride is added as a stabilizer to the cyanohydrin to be stabilized.

Process for stabilizing cyanohydrins

Process for the preparation of carboxylic acid succinimidyl esters by reaction of N-hydroxysuccinimide with a carboxylic acid and a halophosphoric acid ester of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are identical or different and are a C.sub.2 - to C.sub.6 -alkyl radical or a phenyl radical, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together form a C.sub.6 -aryl radical, in the presence of a base in a diluent at a temperature of 0.degree. C. up to 100.degree. C. and isolation of the corresponding carboxylic acid succinimidyl ester.

Process for the preparation of carboxylic acid succinimidyl esters

A process for the preparation of carboxylic acid succinimidyl esters by reaction of N-hydroxysuccinimide with a carboxylic acid and a halophosphoric acid ester of the formula ##STR1## is desired, in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are identical or different and are a C.sub.2 - to C.sub.6 -alkyl radical or a phenyl radical, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 The process is carried out in the presence of a base in a diluent at a temperature of 0.degree. C. up to 100.degree. C. with isolation of the corresponding carboxylic acid succinimidyl ester.

Process for preparing (S)-cyanohydrins by reacting aldehydes or asymmetrical, aliphatic ketones with hydrocyanic acid in the presence of the (S)-oxynitrilase from Hevea brasiliensis at temperatures of up to at most 10.degree. C.

Enzymic process for preparing aliphatic S-cyanohydrins

Process for enhancement of enantioselectivity in the enzymatic separation of (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of an asymmetric alkynol, a lipase and in the presence of at least one vinyl ester, in which the acid component has at least 4 C atoms, an organic solvent and with the addition of water. Also disclosed is a process for enhancement of enantioselectivity in the enzymatic separation of (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of an alcohol with the aid of the abovementioned vinyl ester under addition of a second vinyl ester having at least 2 C atoms less in the alkyl chain than the vinyl ester used as esterifying agent.

Increased enantioselectivity of lipase catalyzed transesterification of

Resolution of asymmetric alcohols by reacting them with a vinyl, propenyl or isopropenyl ester of an alkone- or alkene-di- or tricarboxylic acid in the presence of a lipase, and the use thereof.

Enzymatic resolution of asymmetric alcohols by means of vinyl esters of

Process to separate racemic mixtures of beta-hydroxy or beta-acyloxy-delta-valerolactones, which in position 2 and/or 5 of the lactone ring are substituted by hydrogen, alkyl groups having 4 to 20 C atoms, which are optionally penetrated by an oxygen atom, or by aralkyl groups, whereby not both positions are substituted by hydrogen, through reaction of the racemic mixture in the presence of a hydrolase with or without esterifying agent in a diluent and separation of the reaction mixture, which contains an enantiomerically pure beta-hydroxy-delta-valerolactone and an enantiomerically pure beta-acyloxy-delta-valerolactone, through conventional methods into the enantiomically pure compounds, a process for the manufacture of enantiomerically pure oxetanones using said separation process and enantiomerically pure beta-acyloxy-delta-valerolactones.

Enzymatic process to separate racemic mixtures of delta valerolactones

Enantioselective process for the preparation of the S enantiomer of an optically active cyanohydrin by reacting an aldehyde or an asymmetric ketone with a cyanide group donor in the presence of an S-hydroxynitrile lyase in a diluent and isolating the cyanohydrin formed from the reaction mixture.
