Abstract

With trans-2-phenylcyclopropyl azolides as the model substrate for hydrolytic or alcoholic resolution in methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) via Novozym 435 as an immobilized Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB), quantitative improvements of the enzyme activity and enantioselectivity were reported. At the best reaction conditions of 35oC, leading to k2RRKmRR −1=5.185 L/h⋅g and Etrans=97.2, for hydrolysis of trans-2-phenylcyclopropyl 1,2,4-azolide (trans-2-PCPT), (1R,2R)-2-PCPCA of high optical purity was obtained. Insights into CALB performance via kinetic and thermodynamic analysis for trans- and cis-2-phenylcyclopropyl 1,2,4-triazolide (cis-2-PCPT) were furthermore addressed, showing the prospect of present kinetic resolution process for synthesizing other optically pure 2-arylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acids.
