G. Braum et al., ENZYMATIC-HYDROLYSIS OF HYDROPHILIC ESTERS BY LIPASES - CARBOXY DEBLOCKING OF PEPTIDES AND GLYCOPEPTIDES, Tetrahedron letters, 34(19), 1993, pp. 3111-3114
The markedly hydrophilic 2-(N-morpholino)ethyl (MoEt) esters of protec
ted peptides and glycopeptides are selectively and efficiently cleaved
by lipases in water/acetone (10:1) at pH 7.
