W. Adam et al., LIPASE-CATALYZED KINETIC RESOLUTION OF THREO-CONFIGURED 1,2-DIOLS - ACOMPARATIVE-STUDY OF TRANSESTERIFICATION VERSUS HYDROLYSIS, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 9(4), 1998, pp. 589-598
The kinetic resolution of the alpha,beta-unsaturated vicinal diols 3 h
as been investigated by irreversible transesterification in organic me
dia and by hydrolysis of the corresponding diacetates 6 (Scheme 1). Th
e best results were obtained in the hydrolysis of the diacetates with
the lipase CAL-B from Candida antarctica as a catalyst. (C) 1998 Elsev
