Lipase-mediated enantioselective acylation of alcohols with functionalized vinyl esters: acyl donor tolerance and applications
摘要:
Enzymatic acylation is commonly used for the kinetic resolution of alcohols and amines. The simple acyl group introduced during the enzymatic reaction is Usually removed or replaced by another group. Retention of more complex acyl moieties as part of the target structures would be a more efficient strategy. We have studied the enantioselective acylation of a model alcohol substrate, 1-phenylethanol, with vinyl esters bearing various functionality on the acyl moieties in the presence of three lipases (Candida antarctica, Candida rugosa and Burkholderia cepacia) frequently used in organic synthesis. C. antarctica lipase is the most versatile lipase for this type of biotransformations. We applied this strategy to the synthesis of a protein kinase C ligand and a natural product, phoracantholide.

The use of fatty and aromatic acids as green acyl donors for enzymatic kinetic resolution via esterification of 1-phenylethanol and 1-phenylpropan-2-ol was described. The impact of the presence of magnesium sulfate on both reactivity and selectivity of Candidarugosalipase (CRL) was checked. The organic solvents, the medium dilution, and the temperature revealed as determinant parameters to achieve
