Optically active d-2-hydroxybutanoate is an important building block intermediate for medicines and biodegradable poly(2-hydroxybutanoate). Kinetic resolution of racemic 2-hydroxybutanoate may be a green and desirable alternative for d-2-hydroxybutanoate production. In this work, d-2-hydroxybutanoate at a high concentration (0.197M) and a high enantiomeric excess (99.1%) was produced by an NAD-independent l-lactate dehydrogenase (l-iLDH) containing biocatalyst. 2-Oxobutanoate, another important intermediate, was co-produced at a high concentration (0.193M). Using a simple ion exchange process with the macroporous anion exchange resin D301, d-2-hydroxybutanoate was separated from the biotransformation system with a high recovery of 84.7%.
