  • Title: Resolution of secondary alcohols via Carica papaya lipase-catalyzed enantioselective acylation.
    Author: Miyazawa T, Houhashi M, Inoue Y, Murashima T, Yamada T.
    Journal: Biotechnol Lett; 2008 Oct; 30(10):1783-7. PubMed ID: 18512020.
    Abstract:
    The Carica papaya lipase-catalyzed acylation of benzylcarbinols with vinyl hexanoate proceeded smoothly and enantiospecifically (E > 200), affording the R-esters and leaving the S-alcohols intact. Thus, this plant lipase proved to be a promising biocatalyst for the resolution of alcohols as well as for that of carboxylic acids reported earlier.
