Abstract: | Enantioselective acylation employing vinyl alkanoates as acyl donors was exploited for the resolution of 2-(substituted phenoxy)-1-propanols carrying different substituents on the benzene ring using Achromobacter sp. lipase. These primary alcohols with an oxygen atom at the stereocenter, were resolved with moderate to good enantioselectivity, based on the enantiomeric ratio E (up to 27), through acylation with vinyl butanoate in diisopropyl ether, after the examination of potential factors affecting the reaction such as organic solvents and acyl donors. Using this procedure, enantiomerically enriched (R)-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-1-propanol was prepared in 97% e.e. and 33% yield in a gram-scale reaction. |
