Claims16
A method of biologically producing an aromatic carboxylic acid of Chemical Formula 1, the method comprising contacting a substrate containing an aromatic carboxylic acid having a para-hydroxy group represented by Chemical Formula 2 with a biocatalyst that removes the para-hydroxy group:
- wherein, X and Y are independently hydrogen, hydroxy, or C1-C4 alkoxy.
A method of biologically producing an aromatic carboxylic acid of Chemical Formula 1, the method comprising
- providing a substrate comprising an aromatic aldehyde of Chemical Formula 3;
- converting the aromatic aldehyde of Chemical Formula 3 to an aromatic carboxylic acid of Chemical Formula 2 by chemical oxidation or biocatalytic oxidation;
- and contacting the aromatic carboxylic acid of Chemical Formula 2 having a para-hydroxy group with a biocatalyst that removes the para-hydroxy group to provide an aromatic carboxylic acid of Formula 1:
- wherein, X and Y are independently hydrogen, hydroxy, or C1-C4 alkoxy.
