Enantioselectivity of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase for the acetylation of 2-hydroxy carboxylic acid esters+

Structurally different ethyl or methyl 2-hydroxy carboxylates were resolved by Pseudomonas cepacia lipase-catalysed acetylations with vinyl acetate in diethylether. One type of the alcoholic substrates (2-hydroxy-2-arylacetates and 2-hydroxy-3-arylpropinates) contained a HO-group at the stereocentre. These compounds were resolved with high enantioselectivity (ee 91 → 99) at ca. 50% conversion. The other alcoholic substrates ((threo-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyrate and threo- or erythro-2-hydroxy-3-aryl-3-arylthio(or aryloxy)propionates) with two stereocentres generally resulted in enantiopure products and the reactions stopped at 50 % conversion.
