Abstract:

Pig liver esterase (PLE) can stereoselectively catalyze the hydrolysis reaction of diesters givin g acid-ester products in quantitative and optical yield. This paper introduces asymmetric hydrolysis of diesters and the latest achievements in asymmetric synthesis using PLE as an efficient catalyst.

Key words: PLE (Pig Liver Esterase), Asymmetric hydrolysis, Asymmetric synthesis Review
