Abstract
Abstract The tandem use of laccases and lipases has been exploited for the preparative scale synthesis of enantiomerically enriched dimeric phenols. Laccase-catalyzed oxidation of 4-vinylphenol ( 3 ) in biphasic systems gave as main product the racemic compound 4 . The enantiomerically enriched butanoate (+)-4b and acetate (−)-4a could be obtained by alcoholysis reactions catalyzed by porcine pancreatic lipase in organic solvent and subsequent acetylation.
