M. Zarevucka et al., LIPASE-MEDIATED ESTERIFICATION OF RACEMIC ALCOHOLS - A COMPARISON OF 2-SUBSTITUTED CYCLOHEXANOLS AND CYCLOPENTANOLS, Biotechnology letters, 17(12), 1995, pp. 1317-1320
Esterification of five- and six-membered-ring-containing alcohols cata
lysed by three different lipases (those from porcine pancreas, Candida
cylindracea and Geotrichum candidum) was studied. Some conversions ga
ve high stereochemical purity, but all gave low yields.
