Several microorganisms that can enantioselectively hydrolyze 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide have been isolated from soil samples. These strains were capable of growing in a medium containing 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanamide as the sole nitrogen source. Among them, Shinella sp. R-6 was identified as a strain capable of exhibiting R-selective hydrolysis activity, while Arthrobacter sp. S-2 was capable of exhibiting S-selective hydrolysis activity. The preparation of both enantiomers of 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid via the two-step whole-cell reaction was investigated using these two strains.

The methyl esters of α-trifluoromethyl-α-hydroxy carboxylic acids were obtained by the reaction of methyl trifluoropyruvate with organometallic reagents (Cd, Mg, Zn).The characteristic features of the reactions in relation to the nature of the alkylating agent were demonstrated.
