Abstract During the pancreatin-catalyzed acetylation of the meso-diol 1 with 2, 2, 2- trichloroethyl acetate (2a) in tetrahydrofuran/tri-ethylamine, the enantiomeric monoacetates 3a and ent-3a are formed at nearly equal rates. ent-3a is rapidly acetylated in a second enzyme-catalyzed step, forming 4a, whereas 3a resists further enzymatic acetylation. Thus, the monoacetate 3a can be obtained in 48% yield with an enantiomeric excess (ee) of ...
