Stereodivergent synthesis of both (2S)- and (2R)-1-monoricinolein derivatives by lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis or transesterification directed to new ferroelectric liquid crystals

The preparation of both (2S)- and (2R)-1-monoricinolein derivatives has been developed to synthesize ferroelectric liquid crystals. Lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of 2-protected-1,3-diricinoleins provided (2S)-1-monoricinolein derivatives with high diastereoselectivities, while transesterification of 2-protected glycerols with vinyl recinoleate gave (2R)-1-monoricinolein counterparts in good yields with high diastereoselectivities.

Enzymatic esterification of glycerol III. Lipase-catalyzed synthesis of regioisomerically pure 1,3-sn-diacylglycerols and 1(3)-rac-monoacylglycerols derived from unsaturated fatty acids

Lipases that display high regioselectivities and broad substrate tolerance were used as catalysts for the efficient esterification of glycerol under the conditions of irreversible acyl transfer. A variety of unsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic, erucic, ricinolic, hydroxystearic and coriolic acid, were used for this purpose in the form of their vinyl esters. Suitable biocatalysts were chosen on the basis of systematic screening experiments regarding their regioselectivities (RE) and substrate tolerances. Distinct differences were found and expressed in numerical RE values as a measure for differences of these biocatalysts as being specific, selective, and nonspecific. Based on these experiments, a variety of molecules were synthesized on a preparative scale (>150 mmol) in good yield (ca. 85%) and with high regioisomerical purities (>95% RE).
