The economic and effective method for preparation of R-(-)-ibuprofen by diastereomer crystallization was developed. R-(-)-ibuprofen was resolved from racemic ibuprofen by forming R-(-)ibuprofen-R-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine diastereomeric salt with R-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine and crystallization. The purity of R-(-)-ibuprofen-R-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine diastereomeric salt was tested and confirmed using HPLC and $^1H-NMR$ method. The pure diastereomeric salt collected from repeated recrystallization was further fractionated by liquid-liquid extraction to the pure enantiomer without racemization. R-(-)-ibuprofen was recovered producing overall yield of 2.4% with the purity more than 99.97%.

chial allylic ethers with a hydroxyl group attached to the $\pi-system$ and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate. The enantioselectivity of the CSI reaction with the chiral allylic and benzylic ethers was examined in various solvents and temperatures. Based on these results, it was proposed that the CSI reaction is a competitive reaction of a $S_{N}i$ (retention) and a $S_{N}1$ mechanism (racemization) according to the stability of the carbocation intermediate. This means that there is a greater proportion of retention with the less stable the carbocation intermediate and vise versa.

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed to determine the optical purity of bevantolol enantiomers. (S)-(-)-Menthyl chloroformate((-)-MCF), (S)-(-)-$\alpha$-methylbenzyl isocyanate((-)-MBIC) and 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate(GITC), which can react with the secondary amine group of bevantolol were investigated as chiral derivatization reagents. Among them indirect chiral HPLC method using CITC gave the best result. The derivatization proceeded quantitatively within 20 min at room temperature. Separation of the enantiomers as diastereomers was achieved by reversed-phase HPLC within 20min using ODS column. Different ratios of (S)-(-)-bevantolol and (R)-(+)-bevantolol were prepared. Enantiomeric separation of these mixtures took place on a chiralcel OD column or, after derivatization with GITC, on a ODS column. No racemization was found during the experiment. This method allowed determination of 0.05% of either enantiomer in the presence of its stereoisomer and method validation showed adequete linearity over the required range.

Enzyme-metal combo catalysis is described as a useful methodology for the synthesis of optically active compounds. The key point of the method is the use of enzyme and metal in combination as the catalysts for the complete transformation of racemic substrates to single enantiomeric products through dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR). In this approach, enzyme acts as an enantioselective resolving catalyst and metal does as a racemizing catalyst for the efficient DKR. Three kinds of enzyme-metal combinations - lipase-ruthenium, subtilisin-ruthenium, and lipase-palladium –have been developed as the catalysts for the DKRs of racemic alcohols, esters, and amines. The scope of the combination catalysts can be extended to the asymmetric transformations of ketones, enol acetates, and ketoximes via the DKRs. In most cases studied, enzyme-metal combo catalysis provided enantiomerically-enriched products in high yields.

In the group of commonly prescribed β-blocker drugs, one of the enantiomers is generally relatively more active than the others. This study aims to develop a technique for the chiral analysis of select β-blockers based on proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectrometry. (S)-2-Tert-butyl-2-methyl-1,3-benzodioxole-4-carboxylic acid ((S)-TBMB) was synthesized and utilized as a chiral derivatizing agent. Pure β-blocker enantiomers were isolated from racemates by semi-preparative liquid chromatography prior to derivatization. The reaction time and concentration of (S)-TBMB were controlled to improve the derivatization procedure. No racemization was found during the analysis. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis was also performed for comparative purposes. High agreement between the NMR and HPLC methods was achieved in the determination of (R)-metoprolol in a standard solution of the (S) isomer.

Tyrosine phenol-lyase of thermophilic Symbiobacterium sp. SC-1, which is obligately and symbiotically dependent on thermophilic Bacillus sp. SK-1, was purified and characterized. The enzyme is composed of four identical subunits and contains approximately 1 mol of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) per mol subunit as a cofactor. The enzyme showed absorption maxima at 330 and 420 nm, and lost this absorption profile by treatment with phenylhydrazine. The apparent dissociation constsnt, $K'_D$, for PLP was determined with the apoenzyme to be about $1.2\;{\mu}M$. The isoelectric point was 4.9. The optimal temperature and pH for the $\alpha,\beta$-elimination of L-tyrosine were found to be $80^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0, respectively. The substrate specificity of the enzyme was very broad: L-amino acids including L-tyrosine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-L-alanine (L-DOPA), L-cysteine, L-serine, S-methyl-L-cysteine, $\beta$-chloro-L-alanine, and S-(o-nitrophenyl)-L-cysteine all served as substrates. D-Tyrosine and D-serine were also decomposed into pyruvic acid and ammonia at rates of 7% and 31% relative to their corresponding L-enantiomers, respectively. D-Alanine, which was inert as a substrate in a, $\beta$-elimination, was the only D-amino acid racemized by the enzyme. The $K_m$ values for L-tyrosine, L-DOPA, S-(o-nitrophenyl)-L-cysteine, $\beta$-chloro-L-alanine, and S-methyl-L-cysteine were 0.19, 9.9, 0.36, 12, and 5.5 mM, respectively.

The thermophile Bacillus fordii MH602 was screened for stereospecifically hydrolyzing DL-5-substituted hydantoins to L-$\alpha$-amino acids. Since the reaction occurs at higher temperature, the advantages for enhancement of substrate solubility and for racemization of DL-5-substituted hydantoins during the conversion were achieved. The hydantoin metabolism gene cluster from thermophile is firstly reported in this paper. The genes involved in hydantoin utilization (hyu) were isolated on an 8.2-kb DNA fragment by restriction site-dependent PCR, and six ORFs were identified by DNA sequence analysis. The hyu gene cluster contained four genes with novel cluster organization characteristics: the hydantoinase gene hyuH, putative transport protein gene hyuP, hyperprotein gene hyuHP, and L-carbamoylase gene hyuC. The hyuH and hyuC genes were heterogeneously expressed in E. coli. The results indicated that hyuH and hyuC are involved in the conversion of DL-5-substituted hydantoins to an N-carbamyl intermediate that is subsequently converted to L-$\alpha$-amino acids. Hydantoinase and carbamoylase from B. fordii MH602 compared respectively with reported hydantoinase and carbamoylase showed the highest identities of 71% and 39%. The novel cluster organization characteristics and the difference of the key enzymes between thermopile B. fordii MH602 and other mesophiles were presumed to be related to the evolutionary origins of concerned metabolism.

본 연구에서는 $BF_3$를 함유한 키랄성 코발트 살렌 촉매를 합성하고 비대칭촉매특성을 평가하였다. 촉매의 구조를 결정하기 위하여 NMR, UV 및 ESCA분석을 수행하였다. 합성한 촉매는 여러 종류의 에폭사이드 유도체의 가수분해 속도차에 의한 비대칭 고리열림반응에 적용하여 그 활성과 선택성을 조사하였다. 살렌과 $BF_3$의 비를 다르게 하여 합성한 촉매는 전혀 다른 촉매 활성을 나타내었으며, 그 비를 2 : 1로 하여 합성한 2분자구조의 살렌착체 촉매는 물을 친핵체로 하는 라세믹 에폭사이드의 고리 열림을 통하여 99 %ee 이상의 매우 높은 광학선택성을 보였다. 특히 2분자형의 살렌 촉매는 단분자형의 촉매에 비하여 촉매량을 적게 첨가하여도 현저히 향상된 촉매활성을 나타내었고 얻어진 생성물의 분리과정에서 라세믹화를 유발시키지 않았다. 본 연구에서 적용한 촉매시스템은 키랄 에폭사이드 및 1,2-디올 중간체의 제조에 매우 효과적이었다.

$\rho$, $\alpha$-dimethyl benzyl alcohol을 효과적으로 분할하기 위하여 2상 동적 속도론적 광학분할(biphasic dynamic kinetic resolution, DKR)반응을 실시하였다. 라세미화 반응을 위하여 촉매로 산성 제올라이트를 사용하였고 속도론적 광학분할(kinetic resolution, KR)을 위하여 고정화 효소를 촉매로 사용하였다. 유기용매와 물을 용매로 사용하는 이상 DKR 반응에서, acyl donor, 반응온도, 기질의 농도, 두 가지 촉매의 상대적 비율 및 교반속도 등의 공정변수를 변화시켜가면서 DKR반응의 전환율과 생성물의 광학순도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그 결과, $\rho$, $\alpha$-dimethyl benzyl alcohol의 DKR 반응에서 99% 이상의 광학순도를 가지는 생성물을 최대 88%의 높은 수율로 얻을 수 있었으며, 높은 TON에서도 반응의 효율성이 유지되었고 촉매의 재사용 시에도 지속적인 활성을 나타내었다.

시판되는 (S)-naproxen을 강염기 조건에서 라세미화하였다. 라세미화된 naproxen 시료를 분석하여 (R)- 및 (S)-naproxen의 피이크 위치를 확인한 후, 2013년 국내에서 시판된 19개 naproxen의 광학순도를 키랄 HPLC로 조사하였다. Chiralcel OD-H 칼럼과 ChiralHyun-LE(S)-1 칼럼 및 LUX-Cellulose-1 칼럼을 키랄 정지상으로 사용하였고, hexane:isopropanol:acetic acid가 100:1:0.1로 혼합된 용액을 전개용매로 사용하여 흐름속도 1.0 mL/min에서 분석하였다. 각 시료를 최소 3회 이상 분석하여 얻은 평균값을 각각 계산하여 데이터로 이용하였고, 이들의 상대표준편차도 계산하여 그 값이 아주 작게 나타난 것을 확인하였다. 세 종류의 다른 칼럼에서 각각 측정한 광학순도 값이 서로 아주 유사한 값을 보여주었으며, 측정된 naproxen의 광학순도는 이들의 광학순도 데이터가 처음 보고된 2010년 시료의 광학순도 평균값인 98.17%에 비해 높은 99.32%를 보였다.
