Abstract
Several racemic 1,2-diols bearing a tertiary benzylic alcohol stereoge nic center can be esterified regioselectively by vinyl acetate using l ipases and esterases in organic media. With the correct choice of enzy me and if the non-phenyl substituent at the tertiary center is unsatur ated, E values of > 250 can be achieved.
