Lipase-catalyzed transesterification of meso-cyclopentane diols
摘要:
The lipase-catalyzed transesterification of the meso-cyclopentane diols 1a - 6a with vinyl acetate in tetrahydrofuran/triethylamine in the presence of lipases of different origin has been investigated. Depending on the structure of the substrate and the origin of the lipase chiral cyclopentane derivatives with high enantiomeric excess could be obtained in good to excellent chemical yields.
