Extracurricular laboratory:new discovery of (R)-[1,1′-Binaphthalene]-2,2′-diol

One of the oldest and most widely used commercial enzyme inhibitors is aspirin, category: catalyst-ligand, which selectively inhibits one of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of molecules that trigger inflammation. you can also check out more blogs about 18531-94-7

Catalysts function by providing an alternate reaction mechanism that has a lower activation energy than would be found in the absence of the catalyst. In some cases, the catalyzed mechanism may include additional steps.In a article, 18531-94-7, molcular formula is C20H14O2, introducing its new discovery. Formula: C20H14O2

(S)-1,1?-Binaphthyl-2,2?-diol was prepared in high optical purity (?98%) via Arthrobacter sp. lipase (MTCC No. 5125) catalyzed kinetic resolution. The immobilization of the substrate on a solid inert support significantly improved the enantioselectivity factor (E) by almost sixfolds, i.e. from ?27 to >180. The effect of acyl substituents and co-solvents were also studied.
