反応手順

To a 3-necked jacketed 3 L flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer and connected to an automatic titrater by a pH electrode and a feeding tube for addition of base, was charged triethanolamine (6.6 mL) and H2O (492 mL) to make 100 mM triethanolamine solution. The pH was adjusted to 7 with 37% HCl. Then, D-Glucose (125 g) was added. The water circulating to the flask jacket was set to 30° C. After 10 minutes, ketoreductase SEQ ID NO: 2 (5.7 g) and glucose dehydrogenase S06 SEQ ID NO: 10 (3.1 g) powder were added. After 10 minutes, β-NAD (125 mg) was added and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir for 5 minutes. Then, butyl acetate (250 mL) was charged. Using an addition funnel, 2.4 M ethyl 4-chloroacetoacetate (250 mL, 100 g in 167 mL of butyl acetate) was slowly added over 3 hrs. The pH was maintained at 7 by the automatic titrater by the addition of 2 M Na2CO3 (152 mL) over 15 hrs. Subsequently, gas chromatography of a reaction sample showed complete conversion to product. Celite (16 g) was added and the reaction mixture was allowed to stir for 10 minutes. The solution was filtered through a celite pad and the organic layer was separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with butyl acetate (2×200 mL). The organic layers were combined and the solvent removed under vacuum by rotary evaporation to obtain 87 g of the ethyl (S) 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate. The enantiomeric excess was >99%, as determined after its conversion to ethyl (R)-4-cyano-3-hydroxybutyrate in Example 8.
