Abstract

Among a variety of lipases tested, Candida antarctica lipase has been found to promote the enantioselective acylation of long chain alkyl trifluoromethyl carbinols 1a–4a and β- thiotrifluoromethyl carbinols 5a–7a, producing both R and S enantiomeric alcohols in good to excellent chemical yield and enantioselectivity. In all cases the lipase preferentially acylates the S enantiomer, irrespective the presence or not of a sulfur atom in β position to ...
