- 20Under the same reaction conditions, (2-naphthyl)-1-ethanol gave (2-naphthyl)-1-ethanol acetate in 100 % yield but 0 % ee.
- 21To avoid opening of the reaction vessel, the order of addition of reagents was changed slightly: Toluene was added to a mixture of KOtBu, Ru complex, CALB, and Na2CO3. After 6 min the alcohol was added and the mixture was stirred for 4 min. Finally, isopropenyl acetate was added.
- 22To control the water activity, the enzyme was stored in a sealed container with a saturated solution of LiCl for a minimum of 24 h. An excess of KOtBu is needed to consume the water in the reaction mixture. To test this hypothesis, DKR of 4 a was carried out under the same reaction conditions as in Table 1, entry 4, but employing 40 mg of CALB instead of 6 mg. Acetate 5 a was obtained in only 57 % yield after 3 h.

- 27Stirring for 10 min gave essentially the same result but stirring for 1.5 h gave less-reproducible results.
