A. Mattson et al., KINETIC RESOLUTION OF CHIRAL AUXILIARIES WITH C-2-SYMMETRY BY LIPASE-CATALYZED ALCOHOLYSIS AND AMINOLYSIS, Acta chemica Scandinavica, 50(10), 1996, pp. 918-921
Three cyclic diols, 1,2-cyclohexanediol (1), 1,3-cyclohexanediol (2),
and 1,3-cyclopentanediol (3), two acyclic unsaturated diols, 1,5-hexad
iene-3,4-diol (4) and 1,7-octadiyne-3,6-diol (5), and a cyclic diamine
, 1,2-cyclohexanediamine (6), have been kinetically resolved in alcoho
lysis and aminolysis reactions, catalyzed by Candida antarctica compon
ent B lipase, using S-ethyl thiooctanoate or ethyl octanoate as acyl d
onors. Acceptable stereoselectivity was achieved in most cases.
