“…On the basis of Izumi's studies on simple 1,2-disubstituted ferrocene and ferrocenophane lipase substrates, 80,81 the group of Nicolosi performed an in-depth investigation on the kinetic resolution of 2-substituted ferrocenemethanols. 82,83,84,85 In the enzyme-mediated acetylation, the lipases of Candida antarctica (type B) and Candida cylindracea, respectively, provided moderate to good enantioselectivities for a variety of halogen-, sulfide-and aminomethyl-functionalized ferrocenes (scheme 37). Later, Aribi-Zouioueche and Riant published further refinements of this method (e.g.…”
