The question of how to distinguish between lipases and esterases is about as old as the definition of the subclassification is. Many different criteria have been proposed to this end, all indicative but not decisive. Here, the activity of lipases in dry organic solvents as a criterion is probed on a minimal α/β hydrolase fold enzyme, the Bacillus subtilis lipase A (BSLA), and compared to Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB), a proven lipase. Both hydrolases show activity in dry solvents and this proves BSLA to be a lipase. Overall, this demonstrates the value of this additional parameter to distinguish between lipases and esterases. Lipases tend to be active in dry organic solvents, while esterases are not active under these circumstances.

The Candida antarctica lipase B-catalyzed reactions of five β-amino esters with neat butyl butanoate and with 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl butanoate in diisopropyl ether were studied, as were the reactions of the same β-amino esters and their N-butanamides with neat butanol. The possibility for sequential resolution, where the amino and ester functions of the substrate both react with an achiral butanoate, became less likely with increasing size of the substrate from ethyl 3-aminobutanoate (1a) to pentanoate (1b) or larger. On the other hand, the alcoholyses of N-acylated β-amino esters successfully proceeded in butanol with E > 100. Gram-scale resolution of the N-butanoylated 1a was performed to demonstrate the usefulness of the method. Key words: lipase, interesterification, acylation, alcoholysis, resolution, β-amino esters.

Candida antarctica lipase B proved to be highly active in the deacylation of substituted hydroquinones and resorcinols acylated at both phenolic hydroxy groups. The deacylation reactions were much faster than the corresponding direct acylations of these dihydroxybenzenes catalyzed by the same lipase. More importantly, they took place generally in a markedly regioselective manner: the acyloxy group remote from the substituent was preferentially cleaved. The main or exclusive products obtained were the regioisomers of those produced through the direct acylation of the dihydroxybenzenes. In the case of alkyl-substituted hydroquinone derivatives, the regioselectivity increased with an increase in the bulk of the substituent. In the case of 4-substituted diacylated resorcinols, the 3-O-monoacyl derivatives were obtained generally as the sole products. Quite interestingly, some secondary alcohols proved to act as better acyl acceptors than the corresponding primary alcohols in these enzymatic deacylations.
