E. Cernia et al., ENANTIOSELECTIVITY AND REACTIVITY OF IMMOBILIZED LIPASE IN SUPERCRITICAL CARBON-DIOXIDE, Journal of molecular catalysis, 89(1-2), 1994, pp. 120000011-120000018
Some results and some general observations on the reactivity of differ
ent substrates in lipase-catalyzed reactions in supercritical carbon d
ioxide are reported. Chiral 1-phenylethanol, 2-octanol, 6-methyl-5-hep
ten-2-ol and trans-3-penten-2-ol have been prepared in high enantiomer
ic excess (ee > 80%) by enantioselective acetylation of the correspond
ing racemic alcohols using immobilized crude lipase (Pseudomonas sp. f
rom Amano) in supercritical carbon dioxide.
