Novel enzyme- and free radical-mediated reactions of oxirane derivatives

The thesis describes the use of various hydrolases in the preparation of enantiomerically enriched epoxyesters. Optically enriched n-butyl 4,5- epoxypentanoate was prepared with a 64% enantiomeric excess via the porcine pancreatic lipase-catalysed hydrolysis of the racemic ester. The hydrolase-catal...
