Abstract

The kinetic resolution of chiral β-borylated carboxylic esters via lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis and transesterification reactions was studied. The enantioselective hydrolysis catalyzed by CAL-B furnished the β-borylated carboxylic acid with reasonable enantiomeric excess (62% ee), while both methyl and ethyl β-borylated carboxylic esters were recovered with excellent ee (>99%). Meanwhile, the transesterification reaction of β-borylated carboxylic esters and several alcohols, catalyzed by CAL-B, only indicated a high selectivity when ethanol and methyl-(β-pinacolylboronate)-butanoate were used as substrates, which gave ethyl-(β-pinacolylboronate)-butanoate with >99% ee.
