Hydrolytic reactions on polyphenolic perpropanoates by porcine pancreatic lipase immobilized in microemulsion-based gels

Enzymes and protecting group chemistry

Enzymatic protecting group techniques are increasingly finding their use in almost all areas of synthetic organic chemistry. Some of the recent papers have dealt with the use of such protecting groups in combination with classical methods. The modification of known protecting groups to increase the efficiency and selectivity of deprotection is on the rise. The methodology needs to be explored more intensively and systematically to realise its full potential.
