Lipase-catalyzed enantioselective acylation of alcohols: a predictive active site model for lipase YS to identify which enantiomer of an alcohol reacts faster in this acylation
摘要:
Primary alcohols having a hydroxymethyl group at an S stereogemic center and secondary alcohols with an R configuration are preferentially acylated to give the corresponding acetates by lipase YS (from Pseudomonas fluorescens)-catalyzed acylation using isopropenyl acetate as the acylating agent in diisopropyl ether. On the basis of enantiomer selectivities observed, a predictive active site model for lipase YS is proposed for identifying which enantiomer of a primary or a secondary alcohol reacts faster in this acylation.
