Enzymatic Reactions

Lipase-catalyzed resolutions of racemic primary amines or aminoalcohols by enantioselective acylation, separation by distillation or extraction, and hydrolysis of the amide.

Highly efficient, BASF-patented heterogeneous process.

Both enantiomers with high enantiomeric purity are available.

Other enzymatic reactions under active investigation and development.
