Abstract:

(R)-1-phenylethanol is a key chiral building block in the synthesis of chiral drugs, and plays important roles in the synthesis of many chiral compounds and in the industrial production of medicines and spices. The strain Bacillus sp. DL-2 screened from the deep-sea sediments of the western Pacific Ocean was broke, and the obtained intracellular proteases can asymmetrically hydrolyze (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate to obtain (R)-1-phenylethanol. Three different ways, namely, surfactant, lysozyme and ultrasonic, were utilized to crush Bacillus sp. DL-2. After the optimizations of the surfactant and lysozyme crushing methods, the optimal working conditions were found to be 0.5% TritonX-100, 35 ℃ and pH 7.0 for 2 h. After process optimization, (R)-1-phenylethanol was obtained with an enantiomeric excess of 96% and a conversion of 23%, which provide reference for using intracellular proteases to produce chiral chemicals.

Key words: surfactant, lysozyme, ultrasonication, kinetic resolution, (R)-1-phenylethanol
