Solvent-induced inversion of enantiosflectivity in lipase-catalyzed esterification of 2-phenoxypropionic acids

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

In the esterification of 2-phenoxypropionic acids catalyzed byCandida cylindracea lipase, its enantio-selectivity was inverted in non-polar solvents such as carbon tetrachloride from that in polar solvents such as acetone. A model for this inversion is suggested.
