Abstract
The cultured suspension cells of plants and cyanobacterium, such as Nicotiana tabacum, Catharanthus roseus, Marchantia polymorpha, Parthenocissus tricuspidata, Gossypium hirsutum and Cynechococcus sp. PCC 7942, have a potentiality to hydrogenate the C-C double bond of N-substituted maleimides to afford corresponding succinimides. Hydrogenation of N-phenyl-2-methylmaleimide by the cultured cells of N. tabacum, M. polymorpha and Cynechococcus sp. was highly enantioselective to give (R)-N-phenyl-2-methylsuccinimide.
