HIGHLY EFFICIENT ENZYMATIC PROCESS TO PRODUCE (R)-3-QUINUCLIDINOL

摘要

The present invention relates to enzymatic reduction of 3-quinuclidinone to (R)-3-quinuclidinol (Scheme I), by reacting 3-quinuclidinone with a variant of ketoreductase enzyme derived from Rhodotorula rubra. The invention also relates to enzymatically produced (R)-3-quinuclidinol wherein the substrate loading capacity of the enzyme is not less than 100g/L.
