Enzymatic resolution of the chiral inductor 2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol
摘要:
Several lipase-catalyzed processes are evaluated for the resolution of 2-methoxy-2-phenylethanol, a chiral auxiliary in the synthesis of optically active 1,4-dihydropyridines. Candida antarctica lipase B (CAL B) catalyzes the enzymatic acylation of the primary alcohol with high enantioselectivity. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
