Abstract
The resolution of 1,2-O-isopropylidene glycerol via enzyme catalyzed hydrolysis of the corresponding benzoic ester was investigated. Using lipase PS from Pseudomonas cepacia, we determined the influence of organic co-solvents on the activity and enantioselectivity of the enzyme. The performance of the lipase was correlated to the nature (logP, ϵ,μ and the percentage of the organic media. The highest enzymatic activity was found in solvents completely miscible or completely immiscible in water. The enzyme stereoselectivity was inversely related to the logP of the solvent.Keywords
