The Porcine Pancreatic Lipase (PPL)-catalyzed transesterification of 1-phenyl-1, 2- ethanediol 1, 2-phenyl-1, 2-propanediol 2 1, 2-decanediol 3 1, 2-pentanediol 4 1, 2- butanediol 5 1, 2-propanediol 6 and 1, 3-butanediol 7 in methyl propionate as solvent was evaluated. In alt substrates the primary hydroxy group is esterified exclusively. The enantioselectivity displayed in this PPL-catalyzed reaction is moderate. The enantiomeric ...
