General description

Enantioselective esterification of (R)-(+)-glycidol with n-butyric acid in organic media using hybrid gel-entrapped lipase on Celite has been reported.

Application

(R)-(+)-Glycidol may be used in the following synthesis:
  • heteroarylpropane-2,3-diols, useful for combinatorial oligomer synthesis
  • enantiomerically pure (2S,3S)- and (2S,3R)-threoninol and -hydroxyphenylalaninol
  • 2-amino-1,4-anhydro-pentitol and 3-amino-1,5-anhydro-4-deoxy-hexitol with the arabino configuration
  • (S)-4-tosyloxymethyl-2-oxazolidinone, required for the synthesis of protected amino alcohol derivatives
  • 1-(S)-[3-hydroxy-2-(phosphonomethoxy)propyl]cytosine [(S)-HPMPC]
  • chiral building block used to construct an epoxyvinyl iodide intermediate in a synthesis of a furanocembrane, a marine natural product
