A novel method for preparation of optically active alpha-monobenzoyl glycerol via lipase-catalyzed asymmetric transesterification of glycerol.
One-step synthesis of optically active alpha-monobenzoyl glycerol is described by lipasecatalyzed transesterification of benzoate derivatives with glycerol in 1,4-dioxane.
