D. Basavaiah et Sb. Raju, BOVINE LIVER ACETONE POWDER (BLAP) CATALYZED SYNTHESIS OF CHIRAL C-8 ALLYL ALCOHOLS - AN APPLICATION OF SUBSTRATE-SPECIFICITY APPROACH, Tetrahedron, 50(14), 1994, pp. 4137-4148
(S)-Matsutake alcohol is synthesized by enzymatic hydrolysis in 92% op
tical purity using bovine liver acetone powder (BLAP). The principle o
f substrate specificity approach is applied to the synthesis of C-8 al
lyl alcohols in 46-93% enantiomeric purities using BLAP.
