Abstract

In the present work, we have developed a highly efficient temperature-dependent chemo- enzymatic methodology for the regioselective synthesis of novel esters of glycerol, G1 tri- glycerol dendrons and related esters for the first time using 4-nitrophenyl 2-(tert- butoxycarbonyl) acetate (Boc-gly-Ph-pNO2)(2) as the acylating agent. This methodology offers efficient and controlled loading of amino acid (glycine) on polyhydroxy compounds.
