Acylase I from Aspergillus species catalyzes the reaction of transeste
rification between vinyl acetate and racemic derivatives of 2-(hydroxy
methyl)piperidine. It has been found that the enantioselectivity of th
e reaction depends on the solvent. Also it has been observed that remo
te substituents have a great influence on the enantioselectivity.
