In order to obtain both enantiomers of aliphatic secondary alcohols via a greener method, the four-step resolution-separation process involving lipase-catalyzed enantioselective esterification and hydrolysis as well as two separation procedures both via heterogeneous azeotropic distillation was developed. (S)-2-Pentanol (ee = 98.6%), (R)-2-pentanol (ee >99%), (S)-2-octanol (ee = 98.2%), and (R)-2-octanol (ee = 98.5%) were all produced in high purity (>98%) and high yield (>90%). In addition to the two model substrates, this method could also be applied to the resolution of other aliphatic secondary alcohols.

The use of S-ethyl thiooctanoate as acyl donor in resolution of secondary alcohols by lipase catalysed transesterification, resulted in an efficient displacement of the equilibrium towards esterification of the alcohol. A lipase (component B) from Candida antarctica was used as the catalyst. On a semi-preparative scale, 0.5 g of 2-octanol was resolved in less than one hour, affording an enantiomeric excess of >98% of the remaining alcohol and >97% of the produced ester. Three other alcohols, 1-phenyl ethanol, 1-cyclohexyl ethanol and trans-2-methyl cyclohexanol were also resolved with good optical yields. After 50% conversion on a preparative scale, 15 g of alcohol, the (S)-enantiomer of 2-octanol could be obtained with an enantiomeric excess of 96%. The (R)-enantiomer was isolated with an enantiomeric excess of 97% after hydrolysis of the produced ester.
