Preparation of Optically Active 1-<i>O</i>-Alkyl-3-<i>O</i>-arylsulfonyl-<i>sn</i>-glycerol Derivatives: Substrate Engineering in Enzyme-Mediated Enantioselective Hydrolysis
Lipase PS catalyzes the enantioselective hydrolysis of various2-acetyl compounds of the 1- O-alkyl-3- O-arylsulfonyl- SN-glycerolderivatives to afford the corresponding opticallyactive compounds.Changing the structure of the 1- O-alkyland 3- O-arylsulfonyl groups affects boththe reactivity and enantioselectivity. Finally, the E value of the reaction for 2-acetyl-3- O-3,5-dimethylbenzenesulfonyl-1-
