Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions, 7. - Enantioselective Esterification of Racemic Cyanohydrins and Enantioselective Hydrolysis or Transesterification of Cyanohydrin Esters by Lipases
Pure cyanohydrin enantiomers (S)-1/(R)-1 and their O-acyl derivatives (R)-3/(S)-3 are obtained from three different lipase-catalyzed reactions: (i) enantioselective hydrolysis of aliphatic and aromatic racemic cyanohydrin esters 3, ii) enantioselective ac
