To establish an extraction method for fenvaleric acid (FA) enantiomers using l-iso-butyl-l-tartaric esters and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) as chiral selector, the distribution of FA enantiomers was examined in methanol aqueous solution containing HP-β-CD and 1,2-dichloroethane organic solution containing l-iso-butyl-l-tartaric esters. The influences of the concentration of l-iso-butyl-l-tartaric esters and HP-β-CD, organic diluent, pH, extraction temperature and the concentration of methanol aqueous solution on the partition coefficient (k) and separation factor (α) of FA were investigated. The experiment results showed that the complex formed by l-iso-butyl-l-tartaric esters with S-enantiomer is stabler than that with R-enantiomer. With the increase of the concentration of l-iso-butyl-l-tartaric ester, k and α increased; With the increase of the concentration of HP-β-CD, k increased firstly, and then decreased, but α increased all the while, k was the highest when the concentration of HP-β-CD was 4 mmol L-1. 1,2-dichloroethane organic diluent was better than the others. With the increase of pH, k and α decreased; with further increasing concentration of methanol aqueous solution, k and α decreased, k and α were the highest when the concentration of methanol aqueous solution was 10%. The extraction temperature had a great influence on k and α, too.
Manganese Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Enantiomerically Pure Esters

A manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of esters has been accomplished with TONs up to 1000, using cheap, environmentally benign, potassium carbonate and simple alcohols as activator and solvent, respectively. The weakly basic conditions lead to good functional group tolerance and enable the hydrogenation of enantiomerically enriched α-chiral esters with essentially no loss of stereochemical integrity.
Soluble and functional expression of a recombinant enantioselective amidase from Klebsiella oxytoca KCTC 1686 in Escherichia coli and its biochemical characterization

A gene encoding an enantioselective amidase (KamH) was cloned from Klebsiella oxytoca KCTC 1686 and inserted into the EcoRI and HindIII sites of the vector pET-30a(+). When KamH with a peptide containing a His-tag and an enterokinase cleavage site was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, approximately half was found in the soluble fraction, but it lacked activity. After cleavage of the peptide by enterokinase, the enzyme activity was partly restored, reaching 420.2 ± 33.62 U/g dry cell weight (DCW). Another recombinant plasmid was constructed by inserting the KamH gene into the NdeI and EcoRI sites of pET-30a(+) to express KamH in its native form. The overexpressed amidase was found primarily in the soluble fraction and its maximum activity was 3613.4 ± 201.68 U/g DCW. This indicated that the peptide influenced not only soluble expression but also activity of KamH, perhaps by blocking the substrate-binding tunnel of KamH. Similar results were obtained with heterologously expressed amidases from Rhodococcus erythropolis MP50 and Agrobacterium tumefaciens d3. All of these amidases have an N-terminal α-helical domain. Therefore, amidases of this type may be functionally expressed in their native form. KamH hydrolyzed a range of aliphatic and aromatic amides and exhibited strict S-selectivity towards racemic amides.
