The invention discloses a method for asymmetrically reducing a carbonyl compound by
biocatalysis in a water /
ion liquid biphasic
system, which belongs to the
biochemical engineering technical field. The method takes a selective strain producing
carbonyl reductase as a starting strain, and prochiral
ketone as a substrate to perform reducing preparation of corresponding chiral
alcohol in the water /
ion liquid biphasic
system; the method comprises the following steps that:
Aureobasidium pullulans CGMCC No.1244 is used to catalyze 4-chloro-
acetoacetic acid ethyl ester to perform the asymmetrical reduction preparation of (S)-4-chloro-3-
hydroxybutyric acid ethyl ester, and Saccharoinyces uvarum ATCC 26602 is used to catalyze 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate to perform the asymmetrical reduction preparation of (R)-4, 4, 4-trilfluoro-3-hydroxybutyrate. The method shows the advantages of no
toxicity, no smell, difficult volatilization, good
biocompatibility, no environmental
pollution, simple product separation, easy
recovery, repeated use and so on, of
ion liquid. At the same time, the method improves the transformation rate, the concentration and an
enantiomeric excess value of a
reaction product, and quickens the process of the reaction.
