Patent ID: 7455998

Claim:
A method of forming an organic molecule, comprising contacting a hydrolase enzyme with an organic reactant, wherein: the organic reactant is selected from the group consisting of: (CH 3 ) 2 Si(OCH 3 ) 2; (CH 3 )(CF 3 CH 2 CH 2 )Si(OCH 3 ) 2 ; (C 6 H 5 )(CH 3 )Si(OCH 3 ) 2 ; (CH 3 CH 2 ) 2 Ge(OCH 2 CH 3 ) 2 ; (CH 3 )Si(OCH 2 CH 3 ) 3 ; 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetramethoxy-cyclotetrasiloxane; 1,3-bis(hydroxy)tetramethyldisiloxane; [(HO) 2 (CH 3 )SiO] 3 SiCH 3 , (Me 3 SiO(CH 2 CH 2 O) 4 CH 3 ), 3-glycidoxypropyldimethylethoxysilane, 1,1-dimethyl-1-sila-2-oxacyclohexane, trimethylsilanol, trimethylethoxysilane or a combination thereof; the hydrolase enzyme is selected from the group consisting of: Candida antarctica lipase, Candida antarctica lipase B, Rhizomucor miehei lipase, wheat germ lipase, trypsin, cutinase, or a combination thereof; and the hydrolase enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis and condensation of the organic reactant to form the organic molecule.
