Popis: The resolution of eight differently substituted trifluoromethylstyrene oxide derivatives was explored using the Aspergillus niger epoxide hydrolase. The obtained results indicate that all (but one) epoxides were efficiently processed by this enzyme, under very mild experimental conditions. The specific activity and the enantioselectivity of the enzyme against each substrate were determined. Circular dichroism analysis was also performed, allowing us to establish the absolute configuration of the products.
