Highly regioselective hydrolysis of substituted 2-benzylidene-1,3-propylene diacetates using porcine pancreas lipase
Hydrolysis of substituted 2-benzylidene-1,3-propylene diacetates in the presence of 100w/w % of porcine pancreas lipase (PPL) Type II proceeded to afford the corresponding Z-monoacetates in excellent yields with high regioselectivities.
