Enzymatic Kinetic Resolution and Racemization of 2‐(Tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl)ethanols

Abstract The Candida antarctica lipase B catalyzed transesterification of 2‐(tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl)ethanols provides acetates in useful yields with good to high enantiomeric excess values. By taking advantage of the persistent radical effect, the remaining alcohols can be cleanly racemized un...

Description
Summary:Abstract The Candida antarctica lipase B catalyzed transesterification of 2‐(tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl)ethanols provides acetates in useful yields with good to high enantiomeric excess values. By taking advantage of the persistent radical effect, the remaining alcohols can be cleanly racemized under mild conditions in the presence of TEMPO [2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐yl)oxidanyl].
