Abstract

Abstract Incubation of d1-α-benzyloxycarboxylic esters with grown cells of a bacterium, Corynebacterium equi IFO 3730, afforded the chiral esters of high optical purities via asymmetric hydrolysis. This reaction has been revealed to have a wide applicability to alkane-and arylalkane-carboxylic esters.
