摘要 |
The present invention relates to the biocatalyzed synthesis of enantiomerically pure (3R) and (3S)-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline. Said enantiomerically pure compounds are useful as chiral synthons in organic synthesis and, in particular, for the preparation of diastereomerically pure (21 R) and (21 S)-agratroban and its analogues. New compounds used as intermediates in the process of the invention are also disclosed. |
