Abstract
Efficient asymmetric syntheses of glycerol derivatives were achieved by lipase-catalyzed transesterification. 2-O-Substituted glycerol was enzymatically esterified with acetic acid or acetate in an organic medium to afford an optically active monoester. In particular, lipase-catalyzed transesterification with vinyl acetate or phenyl acetate gave high chemical and optical yields.
