PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF L-SERINE DERIVATIVE AND ENZYME USED IN THE PROCESS

摘要

The present invention provides a new method for producing serine derivatives and their optically-activated derivatives in a convenient manner. Under the presence of a given enzyme, an L-±-amino acid of formula (I):
(in the formula (I), R 1 is a given hydrocarbon group) is reacted with an aldehyde of formula (II):
(in the formula (II), R 2 is a given hydrocarbon) to produce an L-serine derivative of formula (III).
in the presence of an enzyme.
