Abstract

Hydrolytic enzymes are well known for their capability of enantiomer differentiation.1 While optically-active carboxylic acids have been obtained frequently by enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic (or prochiral) esters,2 the corresponding preparation of alcohols (or 1,2-diols) has received much less attention in the past.3 In this communication we report the ...
