Lipase-catalyzed enantiomeric kinetic resolution of ceramides related to C(16)-sphinganine and C(18)-sphingenine is described. Two hydroxy groups in readily available racemic N-stearoyl-erythro-C(16)-sphinganine were acetylated, and several kinds of lipases were screened for the hydrolysis of this substrate. Among them, a Burkholderia cepacia lipase (SC lipase A, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.) showed the highest reactivity and enantioselectivity. The rate of hydrolysis and selectivity were greatly affected by some additives. Especially, the combined use of a detergent, Triton X-100, and the solid support, Florisil, for immobilization showed the highest enantioselectivity (E = ca. 170), although the reaction rate turned low. Introduction of a double bond into the substrate (N-stearoyl-erythro-C(18)-sphingenine) also retarded the hydrolysis. By utilizing the preferential hydrolysis of the acetate on the primary hydroxy group, another advantageous feature of this enzyme-catalyzed reaction, the resulting product could directly be used as the glycosyl acceptor for cerebroside synthesis.

()-Atenolol (()-2-(4-(2-Hydroxy-3-(isopropylamino)propoxy)phenyl)acetamide) has been synthesized in >99% enantiomeric excess () with the use of lipase B from Syncozymes (Shanghai, China), in a kinetic resolution of the corresponding racemic chlorohydrin. A catalytic amount of base was used in deprotonation of the phenol building block. The enantiopurity of the chlorohydrin building block remained unchanged upon subsequent amination to yield the final drug.

In this study, lipase-catalyzed resolution of N-acetyl-DL-methionine methyl ester (N-Ac-DL-MetOMe) was evaluated. A lipase from Brucella thiophenivorans was prone to exhibit high activity and excellent enantioselectivity toward N-Ac-DL-MetOMe to produce the key chiral intermediate N-acetyl-L-methionine methyl ester (N-Ac-L-MetOMe). The results showed that the enzymatic reaction was carried out in 100 g/L racemic substrate for 2 h, the conversion reached 51.

The first examples of a practical procedure for a lipase-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution of PEGylated -alkyl amino esters is reported. This method allows for the preparation of a broad range of aromatic and aliphatic enantiomerically enriched -alkyl unnatural amino acids in up to 98% yield and 99% ee. We have found that PEGylated esters have a significant solubility advantage and improved reactivity over traditional hydrophobic lipase substrates, thereby allowing for efficient and scalable dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) under aqueous conditions.

This report reviews the most important lipase-catalyzed strategies for the preparation of pharmaceutically and chemically important tetrahydroisoquinoline and tetrahydro--carboline enantiomers through -acylation of the primary hydroxy group, -acylation of the secondary amino group, and CO hydrolysis of the corresponding racemic compounds with simple molecular structure, which have been reported during the last decade. A brief describes the importance and synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline and tetrahydro-β-carboline derivatives, and it formulates the objectives of this compilation. The strategies are presented in chronological order, classified according to function of the reaction type, as kinetic and dynamic kinetic resolutions, in the .

The fast and selective separation method of intact monoacylglycerol (MG) and diacylglycerol (DG) isomers using chiral supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SFC-MS) was developed and employed to study lipase selectivity in the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols (TGs). The synthesis of 28 enantiomerically pure MG and DG isomers was performed in the first stage using the most commonly occurring fatty acids in biological samples such as palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, linolenic, arachidonic, and docosahexaenoic acids. To develop the SFC separation method, different chromatographic conditions such as column chemistry, mobile phase composition and gradient, flow rate, backpressure, and temperature were carefully assessed.
