The efficient resolution of protected diols and hydroxy aldehydes by lipases: steric auxiliary approach and synthetic applications
摘要:
1,n-Diols (n = 2 - 5) and 2-hydroxy aldehydes protected with a steric auxiliary are transformed by Pseudomonas lipases with high enantioselectivity, thus allowing the efficient resolution of these molecules and the synthesis of related derivatives with high optical purity.
The present invention is directed at a process for preparing enantiomerically enriched compounds of the general formula (I).
Compounds of the type shown are employed in catalyst systems.
