Abstract

The kinetic resolution of racemic 1-(N-acylamino)alkylphosphonic acids 3 (R3=OH) and their dimethyl esters 1, as well as 1-(N-acylamino)alkylphosphinic acids 4 (R3=H or Ph) using penicillin G acylase (PGA) immobilized on three types of mesoporous silicas in both a batch slurry system and in a continuous-flow reactor was studied. The initial hydrolytic deacylation rates in the presence of those catalysts were measured and the relationships between the substrate structure and the enzyme efficiency are discussed. The stereospecific hydrolysis of the N-acyl group of both racemic N-acylated phosphorus analogues of amino acids and their esters catalyzed by the immobilized PGA proved to be a highly effective method for the kinetic resolution of all the investigated compounds, with the stereochemical preference of PGA for (R)-substrates.
