Abstract

Low-temperature method (-40 °C at best) for enhancement of the enantioselectivity in a lipase-catalyzed transesterification was proved to be widely applicable to primary and secondary alcohols and enabled theoretical prediction of the course of enhancement of the enantioselectivity physicochemically.
