摘要

Abstract: The practicality of exploiting the enantiotopic specificity of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase (HLADH) has been demonstrated using substituted pentane-l, 5-diol substrates in which C-3 is a prochiral center. The catalysis was stereoselective for the pro 3 hydroxyl group in each case. HLADH catalyzed oxidation of 3-methylpentane-l, 5-diol gave (3S)-3-methylvalerolactone of> 90% optical purity. The corresponding 3 s lactones ...
