Asymmetric reduction of 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionic acid ethyl ester by undifferentiated cells of white turnip in phosphate buffer/organic solvent
Ethyl (S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate was synthesized by asymmetric reduction of 3-oxo-3-phenylpropionic acid ethyl ester with undifferentiated cells of white turnip in phosphate buffer/organic solvent. The conversion increased with the LogP(oct) of organic solvent increase. The phosphate buffer (0.2 mol/L, pH 7.0)/dodecane was selected as optimum medium for reduction. The optimal content of dodecane in medium is 10% (v). The conversion decreased with initial substrate concentration increase. Addition of more biomass of plant cells and 10% ethanol as co-substrate can improve conversion. The plant cells can be reused well for three times. The enantiomeric excess of ethyl (S)-3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropionate reached 100% with 1% allyl bromide as inhibitor.
