Method for producing optically active 4-halo-3-hydroxybutyric acid ester

   
   

The present invention provides a method for preparing (S)-4-halo-3-hydroxybutyric acid ester comprises asymmetric reduction of 4-halo-acetoacetic acid ester using .beta.-ketoacyl-acylcarrier protein reductase constituting Type II fatty acid synthase or acetoacetyl-CoA reductase constituting the poly-.beta.-hydroxy fatty acid synthesis system. .beta.-ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein reductase constituting Type II fatty acid synthase or acetoacetyl-CoA reductase constituting the poly-.beta.-hydroxy fatty acid synthesis system has a extremely high reducing activity as well as stereoseletivity for (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyric acid ester. In addition, the enzyme exhibits almost no oxidizing activity toward either configuration of ethyl 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate, performing only the reducing reaction of ethyl, 4-chloroacetoacetate. Therefore, this enzyme can be used to efficiently produce (S)-4-halo-3-hydroxybutyric acid ester.

La actual invención proporciona un método para prepararse (el éster ácido de S)-4-halo-3-hydroxybutyric abarca la reducción asimétrica del éster ácido 4-halo-acetoacetic usando el reductase de la proteína del beta.-ketoacyl-acylcarrier que constituye el tipo synthase del ácido graso de II o reductase del acetoacetyl-CoA que constituye el sistema de la síntesis del ácido graso de poly-.beta.-hydroxy. el reductase de la proteína del portador del beta.-ketoacyl-beta.-ketoacyl-acyl que constituye el tipo synthase del ácido graso de II o reductase del acetoacetyl-CoA que constituye el sistema de la síntesis del ácido graso de poly-.beta.-hydroxy tiene una actividad de reducción extremadamente alta así como el stereoseletivity para (éster del ácido de S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyric. Además, la enzima no exhibe casi ninguna actividad que oxida hacia cualquier configuración del etilo 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutyrate, realizando solamente la reacción reductora del etilo, 4-chloroacetoacetate. Por lo tanto, esta enzima se puede utilizar para producir eficientemente (éster del ácido de S)-4-halo-3-hydroxybutyric.
