C. Cardellicchio et al., AN EFFICIENT BIOCATALYZED KINETIC RESOLUTION OF METHYL (Z)-3-ARYLSULPHINYLPROPENOATES, Tetrahedron letters, 35(26), 1994, pp. 4635-4638
The enzymatic hydrolysis of racemic methyl (Z)- and (E)-3-arylsulphiny
lpropenoates by several microbial lipases and alpha-chymotrypsin (alph
a-CHT) was studied. High enantioselectivity values (up to 99%) were ob
tained using (Z)-methyl esters.
