J. Weidner et al., KINETIC RESOLUTION OF (1RS,2SR)-2-(HYDROXYMETHYL)CYCLOPENTANOL BY A BIOCATALYTIC TRANSESTERIFICATION USING LIPASE PS, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 5(4), 1994, pp. 751-754
The kinetic resolution of (1RS,2SR)-2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentanol [(1
RS,2SR)-1] by a sequential lipase-catalyzed transesterification with v
inyl acetate in organic solvents in the presence of lipase from Pseudo
monas cepacia (lipase PS) is described. The results are compared with
data for the resolution of two structurally related 1,3-diols.
