Abstract
A process for the enzymatic hydrolysis of a carboxylic acid derivative by dissolving the carboxylic acid derivative in an organic solvent which is miscible with water only to a slight extent, saturation of the organic solution with water, bringing the water-saturated organic solution into contact with a hydrolase, the hydrolysis taking place, after which the reaction solution is saturated with water again and brought into contact with the hydrolase and subsequently with water again until the desired degree of conversion is achieved.
