摘要
Enantioselective transesterification of the S enantiomer from racemic 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 3,4-epoxybutanoate by poly(ethylene glycol) in warm diisopropyl ether media using porcine pancreas lipase as the catalyst is described. The two ester enantiomers were separated by cooling and filtering. The unchanged R enantiomer was shown to have an enantiomeric excess (ee) of >96% by its conversion to (R)-(—)-carnitine chloride. The S enantiomer of the ester was removed from the PEG by enzyme-catalyzed transesterification with methanol and the resulting methyl ester estimated to have >89% ee. © 1990, American Chemical Society.
