Application of Deracemization in Asymmetric Synthesis by Biocatalyst Liu Zhenzhen1, Ji Aiguo1,2*, Cui Hongjie3 (1College of Pharmacy, Shandong University, Jinan 250012 ) (2Department of Marine Bioengineering , Weihai Campus , Shandong University , Weihai 264209) (3Bingzhou Teachers College, Bingzhou 256603) Abstract The deracemization reaction with microbes or enzymes inverts the chirality of one enantiomer of a racemate to the other antipode, resulting in an optically active compound starting from a racemic mixture. Thus this process may obtain 100% yield and enantiomeric excess. However, the most maximum theoretical yield of classical kinetic resolution is limited to 50% and the tedious procedures for the separation of the starting material and the product are inevitable. Accordingly, deracemization as a simple and efficient method has gained more and more attention. In this paper, the application of deracemization in asymmetric synthesis is reviewed.
