During the course of the purification of novel stereospecific secondary aklylsulphohydrolases present in certain detergent-degrading micro-organisms, it became apparent that substrates prepared by sulphating secondary alcohols with H2SO4 are heterogeneous. Apart from the racemization that occurs if resolved alcohols are sulphated, evidence is provided to show that other isomers are produced in which the position of the ester sulphate group on the alkyl chain has been altered. These changes can be avoided if pyridine/SO3 reagent (prepared with SO3) is substituted as sulphating agent. Experiments in which secondary alkyl sulphates prepared by both methods were tested as potential substrates for the two secondary alkylsulphohydrolase enzymes of Comamonas terrigena have provided initial information about the specificity of the enzymes.
