Ethyl 2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate → (2S)-2-Ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic Acid Ethyl (2R)-2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To ethyl (2RS) (+/−) 2-ethoxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propanoate (0.25 ml of a solution containing 2 mg/ml in phosphate 0.1M buffer pH 7) was added the enzyme (amount indicated below) diluted in phosphate buffer 0.1M pH 7 (buffer volume such as total reaction mixture volume was 0.5 ml). The reaction mixture was shaken at room temperature and analysed at different times. The reaction mixture was analysed by the gradient HPLC method 1 and by the chiral CE method 2.
