Would anyone be prepared to help me by translating a patent from Japanese to
Englsih, please? The patent concerns the biotransformation of a racemic
lactone to an enantiomerically enriched hydroxy acid leaving the chiral
antipode as the lactone. The paper then goes on to describe how the chiral
hydroxy acid is converted back to the lactone (which is now
enantiometrically enriched).
I am interested in the details of how this chemistry is controlled (not the
enzyme part: that's trivial; rather, the control of lactone to hydroxy acid
to lactone). In anticipation ... thanks. Darren.
ps the patent is seven pages.
