Abstract

A simple enzymatic methodology for the selective monoacetylation of 1, n-diols (n= 5, 8) using vinyl acetate is reported. Monoacetylation excesses of 81–87% at 74–90% 1, n-diol conversions were obtained in toluene and diisopropyl ether using Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL) immobilised on polypropylene powder as catalyst.
