Abstract

See full text

Azlactone (3), or the opposite enantiomer thereof, undergoes biotransformation, using suitable enzymatic activity, in the presence of a compound YH to form a N-acyl-amino acid (2), wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each not hydrogen and are independently selected from groups containing up to 20 carbon atoms, optionally with any combination of R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 being joined together to form at least one ring, X is selected from groups containing up to 20 carbon atoms, and Y is selected from the group consisting of --OH, -Oalkyl and -Nalkyl. Amino acid (1), or the opposite enantiomer thereof, can be prepared in high enantiomeric excess from N-acyl amino acid (2), by converting Y to OH. ##STR1##
