Abstract
A novel method for preparation of S-(+)-ketoprofen is presented involving coupling enantioselective hydrolysis of ketoprofen methyl ester catalyzed by a surfactant-coated-lipase with the photo-oxidation of methanol in a water-saturated organic solvent. The effect of photocatalytic conversion of methanol into water and carbon dioxide on the hydrolysis of ketoprofen methyl ester and the stability of the enzyme was investigated. The photo-oxidation of methanol shifted the equilibrium of the hydrolysis toward the formation of ketoprofen, increasing the equilibrium conversion ratio and improving the enantioselectivity. Because the surfactant-coated lipase and ketoprofen methyl ester dissolved in the organic solvent and ketoprofen was absorbed on the TiO 2 photocatalyst particles, the separation procedures could be simplified and the stability of the enzyme was increased.
