ENANTIOPURE R(-)-3-AMINOISOBUTYRIC ACID SYNTHESIS USING Pseudomonas aeruginosa AS ENANTIOSPECIFIC BIOCATALYST

Abstract The main goal of this research was the synthesis of enantiopure R(-)-3-aminoisobutyric acid from dihydrothymine with good yield, high stereospecificity and relative simplicity. Seventy two percent yield of the product was obtained in three steps. Step one consisted of dihydrothymine racemiz...
