Acylase I (aminoacylase; N-acylamino-acid amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.14, from porcine kidney and the fungus Aspergillus) is a broadly applicable enzymatic catalyst for the kinetic resolution of unnatural and rarely occurring .alpha.-amino acids. Its enantioselectivity for the hydrolysis of N-acyl L-.alpha.-amino acids is nearly absolute, yet it accepts substrates having a wide range of structure of functionality. This paper reports the initial rates of enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of over 50 N-acyl amino acids and analogues, the stabilities of the enzymes in aqueous and aqueous/organic solutions, and the effects of different acyl groups and metal ions on the rates of enzymatic hydrolysis. Eleven .alpha.-amino and .alpha.-methyl .alpha.-amino acids were resolved on a 2-29-g scale. Crude L- and D-amino acid products had generally > 90% ee. The utility of resolved amino acids as chiral synthons was illustrated by the preparation of (R)- and (S)-1-butene oxide and the diastereoselective (cis:trans, 7-8:1) iodolactonization of three 2-amino-4-alkenoic acid derivatives.
