Process for preparing optically active-3-hydroxy-pyrrolidine derivatives by enzymatic hydroxylation

摘要

The invention provides a process for preparing an optically active 3-hydroxypyrrolidine, wherein an oxygen atom is inserted stereoselectively into the corresponding pyrrolidine by use of a biocatalyst. The biocatalyst may be selected from the group consisting of alkane hydroxylases, alkanes-degrading strains, mono-alicyclic hydrocarbons-degrading strains, microorganisms or enzymes from the genera Pseudomonas, Aspergillus, Mycobacterium, Corynebacterium, Nocardia, Gordona, Beauveria, Fusarium, Bacillus, Streptomyces, Rhizopus, Candida, Rhodococcus, Methylococcus, Sebekia, Penicillium, Mortierella, Gibbeerella, Scopuloriopsis, Curvularia, Gnomonia, Mucor, Wojnowicia, Ophiobolus, Deadalea, Leptosporus, Diaporthe, Colletotrichum, Absidia, Syncephalastrum, Phycomyces, Botryosphaeria, and Nigrospora.
