Unprecedented biocatalytic desymmetrization of hexitols
摘要:
An unprecedented biocatalytic desymmetrization of a dulcitol derivative leads to optically active hexitols, The best results have been obtained with PFL or Lipase PS, with ees superior to 98% and chemical yields of 75-86%, The absolute configurations of the title chiral compounds have been determined by transformation into known bromo derivatives, already utilized for the preparation of optically active tetrahydrofurans.
