A
simple, large-scale method has been developed for the
preparation of symmetric, secondary diol monomers in
stereochemical pure form and high yield. The approach
utilizes enzymatic and chemical steps to separate a
stereoisomeric mixture into asymmetric, secondary diols.
|
Four U.S. patents on this technology have
been granted to The University of New Mexico (UNM),
where this technology was developed jointly by
Professor Cary J. Marrow of UNM and PAIĘs Dr.
Shield Wallace. Presently, a joint venture for
further development of this technology to the
commercialization point is underway. |
