Lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis of 2-thioacetoxyethyl acetate

Lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis of 2-thioacetoxyethyl acetate is described. Results depended on the biocatalyst, the nucleophile and the substrate/nucleophile ratio. When the reaction of the diester was carried out with one equivalent of 1-octanol under Candida antarctica lipase catalysis, it was found...

Description
Summary:Lipase-catalyzed alcoholysis of 2-thioacetoxyethyl acetate is described. Results depended on the biocatalyst, the nucleophile and the substrate/nucleophile ratio. When the reaction of the diester was carried out with one equivalent of 1-octanol under Candida antarctica lipase catalysis, it was found that 2-mercaptoethyl acetate is mainly obtained through S-acetyl removal.
