The acetate (11), propanoate (12), butanoate (13), 2-methylpropanoate (14), hexanoate (15), decanoate (16), and hexadecanoate (17) of (±)-2-(p-tolyl)-1-propanol (2) were predominantly hydrolyzed with lipase to give (S)-(-)-2-(p-tolyl)-1-propanol (2). However, the 2, 2-dimethylpropanoate (18), benzoate (19), and phenylacetate (20) of (±)-2 were recovered intact even when the reaction was carried out for 100h. From the viewpoints of enentioselectivity and reaction rate, the racemic ester 11 was found to be the most suitable substrate for the optical resolution of (±)-2.
