title: Lipase catalyse glycerolysis for kinetic resolution of racemates.
abstract: Candida antarctica lipase B catalyzed kinetic resolution of representative secondary alcohols, esters, and amine was successfully performed using triacetin or glycerol as solvents and acyl donor/acceptor. High conversions and enantioselectivities were achieved and the product was easily separated by simple extraction with diethyl ether.
