Abstract
Lipase-catalyzed allyloxycarbonylation of alcohols using allyl phenyl carbonate was investigated for various primary alcohols. Lipases from Burkholderia cepacia, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Candida rugosa were found to be effective catalysts. Moderate to good isolated yields (54 %–89 %) were obtained by reaction with allyl phenyl carbonate (0.5–2 equiv.) at 40 °C for 24 h in hexane when a ratio of five times the weight of Candida rugosa lipase to alcohols (0.1 mmol) was used. For the secondary alcohol, 1-phenylethanol, high stereoselectivity was observed when employing Burkholderia cepacia lipase and Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase. This study developed a green, facile methodology for performing allyloxycarbonylation of alcohols using allyl phenyl carbonate as an alternative to allyl chloroformate, which requires cautious handling.
