Description

Monoacylated derivatives of a complete set of 2,3- and 3,4-vicinal diols of steroids were prepared by regioselective lipase-catalysed transesterification reactions. The enzymes displayed different selectivities towards the vicinal diols depending on the configuration of the hydroxyl groups. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6THR-4FGX84H-2/1/c23744db4c590d02acf7c82018be5720
