Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a novel method for the preparation of 1,4-diaminobutane [DAB]. The method according to the present invention involves at least one biocatalytic step which comprises the biocatalytic production of at least one N-protected precursor of DAB. The present invention also relates to a method for the preparation of DAB involving at least one biocatalytic step, and comprising the steps of a) biocatalytically preparing an N-protected precursor of DAB yielding a—biocatalytic reaction mixture containing the N-protected precursor of DAB, b) recovering the N-protected precursor from the biocatalytic reaction mixture and c) converting the N-protected precursor into DAB. More in particular, the present invention relates to a method for the preparation of DAB, wherein the at least N-protected precursor of DAB is selected from the group consisting of N5-protected ornithine, N-protected DAB, and N-protected 4-aminobutyraldehyde.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An in vitro method for the preparation of 1,4-diaminobutane [DAB] comprising a) enzymatically preparing N-acetyl DAB which comprises a step of contacting N 5 -acetyl ornithine with a decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1), or a step of contacting N-acetyl-4-aminobutyraldehyde with an aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1) to produce an enzymatic reaction mixture (b) recovering the N-acetyl-DAB from the enzymatic reaction mixture, and (c) converting the recovered-N-acetyl-D…
