Enzymatic resolution of α-tetralols by CALB-catalyzed acetylation
摘要:
A series of homochiral alpha-tetralols, as well as their respective acetates, has been obtained by esterification of racemic tetralols, using Candida antarctica lipase (CALB-Novozym(R) 435) as the biocatalyst. This enzyme is shown to be highly efficient for the kinetic resolution of the substrates studied, affording the (+)-tetralols and the (+)-acetates in excellent enantiomeric excess (up to >99%) and very good yields (>40%).
