Abstract

Enzyme catalysis in organic solvents is a powerful tool for stereo-selective synthesis but the enantioselectivity is still hard to predict. To overcome this obstacle, we employed a nanoparticulate formulation of subtilisin Carlsberg (SC) and designed a series of 14 structurally related racemic alcohols. They were employed in the model transesterification reaction with vinyl butyrate and the enantioselectivities were determined. In general, short ...
