High enantiomeric enrichment after 50% conversion: Racemates of aldols can be resolved by the title reaction [Eq.(1)] by use of the aldolase antibody 38C2 or 33F12; the ee values of the unconverted aldols are greater than 95% in most cases. Since the antibodies also catalyze the aldol reaction-that is, the reverse reaction-it is possible to prepare both enantiomers using the same antibody catalysts.
