Popis: Racemic ethyl 2-benzyl-3-(tert-butylsulfonyl)propionate (1) and racemic ethyl 2-benzyl-3-[[1-methyl-1-((morpholm-4-yl)carbonyl)ethyl]sulfonyl]p (3) were enantioselectively hydrolyzed by subtilisin Carlsberg generating the respective (S)-acids used as building blocks for renin inhibitors. The esters were readily converted as emulsions at elevated temperature, in a suspended form or a two-phase-liquid system. The enzyme maintained its excellent selectivity and a good activity also at high initial substrate concentrations (up to 50 % w/w). The enzymatic reaction and work-up were optimized and scaled up. Emulsion problems during work-up encountered with these highly concentrated mixtures were solved by application of a disk separator for phase separation.
