Abstract
Strains of Bacillus brevis, Pseudomonas flourescens and Pseudomonas putida that display diethyl phosphonate hydrolase activity have been isolated from a soil screen. Also reported is the resolution of a racemic secondary alcohol containing a dibenzyl phosphonate moiety. This was achieved by transesterification under essentially anhydrous conditions using vinyl acetate as the irreversible acyl donor. A second resolution is reported in which hydrolysis of the carboxylate ester of a phosphonyl leucine derivative occurs with resolution of a racemic centre γ to the functional group being hydrolysed.
