Abstract
The methyl ester of ibuprofen was quantitatively formed by Fischer esterification and converted into (S)-ibuprofen in 94% yield with an ee of 94% under dynamic kinetic resolution conditions at pH 9.8, using Candida rugosa lipase, and 20% DMSO. The (R)- methyl ibuprofen ester was observed to racemize by chiral HPLC without the Candida rugosa lipase present. The rates of in situ racemization and enzymatic hydrolysis for the ...
