Ultrasound promoted enantioselective transesterification of 3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile catalyzed by lipase

(S)-3-hydroxy-3-(2-thienyl) propanenitrile, which is the key chiral building block for the synthesis of (S)-duloxetine, was successfully prepared via enantioselective transesterification catalyzed by lipase under ultrasound irradiation. Compared with conventional shaking, the enzyme activity and ena...
