Abstract

The effect of various experimental variables (solvent, methodology of supportation on celite, presence of water, conversion and so on) on the rate and on the enantioselectivity of monoacetylation of some prochiral 2-substituted-1,3-propanediols with vinyl acetate catalyzed by crude PPL (pig pancreatic lipase) was analyzed. This study allowed to assess the best conditions for performing these transformations, providing an efficient methodology for the synthesis of valuable chiral building blocks with moderate amounts of inexpensive PPL, which can also be easily recycled.
