  • Performing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction
    Patent number: 5063149
    Abstract: A process for performing an enzyme-catalyzed reaction in a reaction mixture comprising two phases, a first aqueous phase containing an enzyme which is not accessible and a second substantially non-aqueous phase containing a non-water miscible solvent wherein a compound derived from fluorescein or a substituted fluorescein is present for the purpose of measuring aqueous pH by monitoring spectroscopic properties. Novel compounds derived from fluorescein or a substituted fluorescein which may be used in the process and a method for producing some of the novel compounds are also claimed.

  • Process for preparing substantially pure diastereoisomers of tetrahydrofolic derivatives
    Patent number: 4959472
    Abstract: The present invention related to the preparation of substantially pure diastereoisomers of derivatives of tetrahydrofolate and the use of such diastereoisomers. More particularly the present invention provides a process for the preparation of a desired substantially pure (6R or 6S) diastereoisomer of a derivative of tetrahydrofolic acid or salt or ester. The process comprises the steps of: attaching a chiral auxiliary group at either N-5 or N-10 of a mixture of 6R and 6S diastereoisomers of tetrahydrofolic acid, separating the new diastereoisomers, recovering the desired new diastereoisomer (6R or 6S) corresponding to the desired (6R or 6S) diastereoisomer, and converting the substantially pure new diastereoisomer recovered into the corresponding diastereoisomer.
