Abstract
Enantioselective deacetylation of a set of benzylic acetates via alcoholysis catalyzed by Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CAL-B), under mild conditions is described. A systematic study allows to determine the appropriate combination nucleophile/organic solvent and also to explain the influence of these parameters on the enzymatic catalytic reaction. In all cases, (R)-alcohols are obtained with high ee (up to >99 %) at conversion 36 % < C < 48 %, the selectivity reaching E > 500. The enzymatic reactivity is influenced by the hydrophobicity of solvent and the structure/nature of the nucleophile. Furthermore, CAL-B allows enantio-complementary between transesterifications in non-aqueous media: alcoholysis and acetylation.
