The invention discloses a method for producing a
clopidogrel intermediate through biological
catalysis chiral resolution, which comprises the following steps: screening an
esterase mutant capable of efficiently resolving the
clopidogrel intermediate (R, S)-2-(2-chlorphenyl)-2-(2-
thiophene ethylamino)
methyl acetate through
molecular modification to obtain (S)-2-(2-chlorphenyl)-2-(2-
thiophene ethylamino)
methyl acetate; according to the present invention, the
biocatalysis activity and the
stereoselectivity are high, the reaction efficiency is improved, the position of the
biocatalysis step in the whole synthesis
route is beneficial to the improvement of the efficiency of other chemical steps, the overall conversion rate, the
enantiomer excess value and the product purity, and the production cost can be significantly reduced. In addition, the method also has the common advantages of
enzymatic synthesis, such as simplicity and convenience in implementation and operation, greenness and
environmental protection, easiness in product separation and the like.
