Lipase catalysed amidation of diethyl glutamate derivatives : peculiarities of ethyl S- and R-pyroglutamate
Candida antarctica lipase mediated amidation of both ethyl S- and R-pyroglutamate at 60 degrees C takes place in less than 5 minutes. Kinetic differences, S-enantiomer rate higher than that of R, appeared when the reaction was performed at 45 degrees C.
