8.00 g Polyethyleneglycol 6000 was dissolved in 150 mL (100 mM) magnesium acetate buffer pH 6.0 under stirring, and the solution added to a stirred suspension of 10.00 g (42.51 mmol) (RS)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (99.7%) in 40 mL methylcyclohexane. The mixture was heated to 28° C. and the pH readjusted to 6.0 with 2 M NaOH. The reaction was started by adding 33.2 mg Candida cylindraceae cholesterase (16.88 kU/g), and the pH was maintained at 6.0 by the controlled addition of 1.0 M NaOH solution under stirring. After a total consumption of 20.35 mL (20.35 mmol) 1.0 M sodium hydroxide solution (after 17.1 h; 47.9% conversion) the reaction mixture was passed through a sintered glass filter. The filtrate spontaneously separated into an aqueous and an organic phase.The aqueous phase was washed with 2×200 mL ethyl acetate to remove uncleaved ester. The aqueous phase was set to pH 4.0 with 25% sulfuric acid and concentrated in vacuo to a volume of ca. 80 mL (bath 60° C.). The solution was cooled to 1° C. (formation of white precipitate/crystals) and the pH set to 1.5 with 25% sulfuric acid. The precipitate/crystals were stirred overnight at 1° C., filtered off on a sintered glass filter (washed with a minimum amount of water) and dried overnight on high vacuum (RT, 6×10−2 mbar) to give 4.32 g (19.53 mmol; 45.9%) (S)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-oxo-pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid. Analysis: HPLC (area A226nm): 99.3%, 0.7% ester. 98.9%ee. The product contains 5.3% water (according to Karl Fischer determination) and 2.1% (w/w) PEG (according to NMR).
