Description
Summary:There are several methods that allow enantiomerically pure compounds to be obtained. In the study presented herein, the enantioselective biotransformations of (<i>R</i>,<i>S</i>)-atenolol were performed with the use of various catalytic systems containing ionic liquids and toluene as a reaction medium, vinyl acetate as an acetylating agent as well as lipases from Candida rugosa. The conducted studies profs that, the use of the two-phase reaction system enables the reuse of the biocatalyst in another cycle and allows to achieve satisfactory kinetic resolution parameters.
