Asymmetric hydrolysis of 3-acetylthiocycloheptene and 3-acetoxycycloheptene with a microbial lipase
Abstract
With a lipase from Candida cylindracea(±)-3-acetylthiocycloheptene was hydrolysed with greater stereoselectivity than (±)-3-acetoxycycloheptene, in both esters the (+)-isomers being preferentially hydrolysed.
