Popis: The enantioselectivity of the lipase-catalyzed acetylation of several ( RS )-2-(1-aminoethyl)-3-chloro-5-(substituted)pyridines has been examined. An enantiomeric excess (substrate) of 94% at 55% conversion was obtained for acetylation of the ( R )-isomer of ( RS )-2-(1-aminoethyl)-3-chloro-5-bromopyridine by Candida antartica lipase B in ethyl acetate, whereas the ( R )-isomer of ( RS )-2-(1-aminoethyl)-3,5-dichloropyridine and ( RS )-2-(1-aminoethyl)-3-chloro-5-(difluoromethoxy)pyridine were each acetylated with significantly lower enantioselectivity. Substitution of methyl propionate, methyl isobutyrate or methyl methoxyacetate for ethyl acetate resulted in decreased enantioselectivity.
