LACTATE PRODUCTION PROCESS

A process for producing alkyl R-lactate from an initial compound comprising substructure (I) is provided. The process involves producing an intermediate comprising R,R- and S,S- lactide from the initial compound, wherein the initial compound is subjected to stereoisomerisation conditions; and reacti...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A process for producing alkyl R-lactate from an initial compound comprising substructure (I) is provided. The process involves producing an intermediate comprising R,R- and S,S- lactide from the initial compound, wherein the initial compound is subjected to stereoisomerisation conditions; and reacting at least a portion of the intermediate with an alkyl alcohol to produce a product comprising alkyl R-lactate, wherein alkyl R-lactate is produced in the presence of an enzyme. Also provided are processes for the production of R- lactic acid, oligomeric R-lactic acid, R,R-lactide, poly-R-lactic acid and stereocomplex lactic acid.
