Abstract

Abstract: Competition experiments and measurements of enantioselectivities were used to develop a simple active-site model (Figure 1) for resolutions of 8-hydroxy-a-methylene carbonyl compounds 111 via acyl transfers mediated by lipase from Pseudomonas sp.(AK). Further experiments were used to test and refine this model with respect to resolutions of allylic, propargylic, homopropargylic, and other alcohols (Tables I-IV, respectively). The ...
