Selective aminolysis of diesters is catalysed by Candida antarctica lipase. Using this enzymatic reaction N,N′-polymethylenesuccinimides and N,N′-polymethyleneglutarimides can be obtained. When propane-1,2-diamine is used as the nucleophile, the enzyme catalyses the aminolysis of diesters with very good enantioselectivity.
