High Temperature-Induced High Enantioselectivity of Lipase for Esterifications of 2-Phenoxypropionic Acids in Organic Solvent

The improved enantioselectivities were observed for lipase MY-catalyzed esterifications of 2-phenoxypropionic acids in organic solvent at high reaction temperature. In this paper, we proposed an assumed model for explaining its high temperature-induced high enantioselectivity.
