Abstract
Pig liver acetone powder (PLAP) catalyzed hydrolysis of alkyl α-acetoxy-α-arylacetates produces alkyl ( S)- α-aryl- α-hydroxyacetates in 23–80% enantiomeric purities. Enantioselectivity is dependent on the ester group of O-acetylmandelates. Substitution on the aromatic ring results in inferior selectivities. Only acetate group is hydrolyzed by PLAP while the ester functionality is found to be completely intact.
