An Efficient and Selective Enzymatic Oxidation System for the Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pured-tert-Leucine

Abstract
[reaction: see text] d-tert-Leucine was prepared with an enantiomeric excess of >99% by an enzyme-catalyzed oxidative resolution of the racemic mixture of dl-tert-leucine with use of leucine dehydrogenase. The l-amino acid was oxidized completely due to coupling of the primary reaction with a highly efficient irreversible NAD(+)-regenerating step by NADH oxidase.
