ENZYME CATALYSED HYDROLYSIS OF DIALKYLATED PROPANEDIOIC ACID DIESTERS, SYNTHESIS OF OPTICALLY PURE (S)-α-METHYLPHENYLALANINE, (S)-α-METHYLTYROSINE AND (S)-α-METHYL-3,4-DIHYDROXYPHENYLALANINE

Pig liver esterase and α-chymotrypsin catalysed hydrolysis of the meso-diesters 1, 2 and 3 gave the corresponding monoesters which then could be transformed into enantiomerically pure (S)-α-methylphenylalanine, (S)-α-methyltyrosine and (S)-α-methyl-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine.
