METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF ENANTIOMER FORMS OF CIS-CONFIGURED 3-HYDROXYCYCLOHEXANE CARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES USING HYDROLASES

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for preparing chiral non-racemic cis-configured cyclohexanols or cyclohexanol derivatives of the formula (I) Cis-configured hydroxyl-cyclohexane carboxylic acid derivatives of formula (I) are central building blocks or immediate precursors for the medicinally active compounds which allow a therapeutic modulation of the lipid and/or carbohydrate metabolism and are thus suitable for preventing and/or treating type II diabetes, hyperglycemia and artherosclerosis. The cis-configured hydroxyl-cyclohexane carboxylic acid derivatives of formula (I) are central building blocks or immediate precursors for the medicinally active compounds described in the prior art.
