Mg. Martinmunoz et al., MUCOR-MIEHEI LIPASE-CATALYZED TRANSESTERIFICATIONS ON AROMATIC AND HETEROAROMATIC SUBSTRATES - A GENERAL SURVEY, Tetrahedron, 50(23), 1994, pp. 6999-7008
An investigation on Mucor miehei lipase-catalyzed transesterifications
of 16 aromatic and heteroaromatic esters in organic solvents is descr
ibed. The points studied were the activity and regioselectivity of the
enzyme-catalyzed reaction of either one or two ester groups situated
in different positions on several heterocyclic systems with an aliphat
ic alcohol. The reactions took place in moderate to good yields and, i
n some cases, regioselectively.
