- Abstract
- Herein we report a new approach to enantiomerically enriched acetates using a lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis in non-aqueous media by alkaline carbonate salts. The use of sodium carbonate in the enzymatic hydrolysis with Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) of racemic acetates shows a large enhancement of the reactivity and selectivity of this lipase. The role of the carbonate salts, the amount and the nature of the alkaline earth metal on the efficiency of this new pathway are investigated. The enzymatic kinetic resolution of acetates 1a-9a, by enzymatic-carbonate hydrolysis under mild conditions is described. In all cases, the resulting alcohols and remaining acetates were obtained in high ee values (up to >99%) while the selectivities reached E >500. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
