Reaction Steps

Cupriavidus sp. KNK-J915 stain (FERN BP-10739) was inoculated in a medium (glycerol 1.0%, peptone 0.5%, malt extract 0.3%, yeast extract 0.3%, isovaleronitrile 0.1%, pH 7.0) sterilized in a Sakaguchi flask, and stirred and cultivated at 30° C. for 72 hours. After completion of the cultivation, the bacterial cells were collected by centrifugal separation, and suspended in 100 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) to obtain a 20-fold concentrated bacterial cell suspension. To the bacterial cell suspension (100 ml), racemic 1-benzylnipecotamide (5 g) was added. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 7 using NaOH, and then the mixture was shaken at 30° C. for 60 hours. After completion of the reaction, solid substance such as bacterial cells was removed by centrifugal separation from the reaction mixture, and the pH of the mixture was adjusted to 10.0 using NaOH. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and then precipitated crystal was filtrated to obtain 2.4 g of (R)-1-benzylnipecotamide. The compound was analyzed by the method of Example 1; as a result, the optical purity was 99.8% ee.
