Diketene a new esterification reagent in the enzyme-aided synthesis of chiral alcohols and chiral acetoacetic acid esters
Jeromin, Guenter E.
, p. 6663 - 6664 (1995)
It was found that in the presence of Pseudomonas lipase diketene can be used as a new reagent for irreversible and enantioselective acylation of secondary alcohols. The reagent is useful to prepare optically active alcohols and optically active acetoacetic acid esters.
