Abstract

Large secondary alcohols, 5-[4-(1-hydroxyethyl)phenyl]-10,15,20- triphenylporphyrin (1a) and the zinc complex 1b, designed on the basis of the transition-state model recently proposed by us, were subjected to the lipase- catalyzed transesterifications. The alcohols were resolved using lipases from Pseudomonas cepacia (lipase PS), Candida antarctica (CHIRAZYME L-2), Rhizomucor miehei (CHIRAZYME L-9), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (lipase LIP) with high enantioselectivities (E > 100).
