dynamic kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols using a lipase and a ruthenium catalyst as developed by Bäckvall required some improvements to make it suitable for its use in an industrial process. The use of p-chlorophenyl acetate as acyldonor is not desirable in view of the toxicity of the side product. We herein report that simple alkyl esters can be used as acyldonors if the alcohol or ketone residue

Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of a series of secondary alcohols has been conducted with a novel dinuclear ruthenium complex, bearing tetrafluorosuccinate and (rac)-BINAP ligands as the racemization catalyst. Novozym 435 has been used as the enzyme, and isopropyl butyrate as the acyldonor. Five substrates underwent DKR successfully: an aliphatic and an aromatic secondary alcohol, an aromatic alcohol

Optically active alcohols represented by the formula:
wherein X indicates an alkyl group having a carbon number of 2-10, Y indicates an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1-3, CF3 or CN, and X ≠ Y, have optical isomers, so that these alcohols do not sufficiently exhibit activity in many cases unless either R- or S-alcohol is purely contained. The production of the pure R- or S-alcohol was restricted to a few methods, so it is desired to develop a method for optically resolving of the secondary alcohols by an industrially advantageous method.
This invention comprises using a particular enzyme having the ability to conduct preferentially a transesterification reaction with a triglyceride and an (R, S)-alcohol represented by the above formula and the triglyceride to conduct the transesterification reaction under substantially anhydrous conditions and resolving the resulting ester to obtain an optically active alcohol which contains richly either R- or S-alcohol.

Method for the preparation of an enantiomerically enriched ester, in which a mixture of the enantiomers of the corresponding secondary alcohol is subjected, in the presence of an acyl donor, to an enantioselective conversion in the presence of a racemisation catalyst upon which the ester is formed and an acyl donor residue is obtained, and in which the acyl donor residue is irreversibly removed from the phase in which the enantioselective conversion takes place. Preferably the enantioselective conversion is carried out enzymatically and a transfer hydrogenation catalyst is used as racemisation catalyst.
The secondary alcohol can be formed in situ from the corresponding ketone, in the presence of a hydrogen donor. It is also possible to use a mixture of the secondary alcohol and the corresponding ketone as substrate.
Preferably the acyl donor is chosen so that the acyl donor residue is converted in situ into another compound and/or the acyl donor residue is removed via distillation under reduced pressure.
The enantiomerically enriched esters obtained can subsequently be converted into the corresponding enantiomerically enriched alcohols, which are desirable intermediate products in the preparation of liquid crystals, agro chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
