Abstract

A number of non-proteinogenic amino acids bearing aliphatic side chains were resolved with moderate to good enantioselectivities (E= 15-42) through the Burkholderia cepacia lipase-catalyzed enantioselective transesterification of the 2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl esters of their N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives with methanol as a nucleophile in diisopropyl ether. Key words: non-proteinogenic amino acids, microbial lipases, Burkholderia cepacia lipase, 2, ...
