Synthesis of Chiral α-Aryl-α-Hydroxyacetic Acids: Substituent Effects in Pig Liver Acetone Powder (PLAP) Induced Enantioselective Hydrolysis

Pig liver acetone powder (PLAP) catalyzed hydrolysis of alkyl α-acetoxy-α-arylacetates produces alkyl (S)-α-aryl-α-hydroxyacetates in 23-80percent enantiomeric purities.Enantioselectivity is dependent on the ester group of O-acetylmandelates.Substitution on the aromatic ring results in inferior selectivities.Only acetate group is hydrolyzed by PLAP while the ester functionality is found to be completely intact.
