The reaction progress of naproxen synthesis catalyzed by AMDase-CLGIPL covalently immobilized onto a robust acrylate carrier was investigated with respect to reaction engineering. Kinetic characterization of the immobilized enzyme reveals a KM value of 22.1 ± 0.1 mM in the naproxen malonate conversion and an inhibiting effect of the produced naproxen with a Ki of 26.3 ± 1.4 mM. However, an effective process can be realized without in situ product removal yielding (S)-naproxen with an ee of 99%. By optimizing the product work-up, an isolated yield of 92% was achieved with total turnover numbers between 83,000 and 107,000 in five repetitive batches. Furthermore, process monitoring with in-line Raman spectroscopy was successfully applied to analyze the reaction progress with a root mean square error of prediction of 0.8 mM (corresponding to 4%).en2058-988320174531540Royal Society of ChemistryChemieIngenieurwissenschaftenJournal Article10.1039/c7re00043jOther
