유기용매에서 리파제의 입체특이성 반응연구를 위하여 리파제의 기질로서 trifluoroethylmandelate를 도안하고 이를 mandelic acid와 trifluoroethanol를 사용하여 알코올과 산에서 에스텔을 합성하는 방법을 도입하여 합성하였다. 합성된 물질이trifluoroethylmandelate임을 $^1H$ NMR과 원소 분석을 통하여 확인하였다. (+)- 와 (-)-trifluoroethylmandelate ($[{\alpha}]_{25}{^D}$)은 각각 +74.0°and -75.4°이었다. 이 합성된 기질을 이용하여 유기용매내에서의 리파제의 입체이성질체에 대한 transesterification 속도는 서로간에 상당한 차이가 나타났다. 반면에 $[{\alpha}]_{25}{^D}$가 낮은 입체 이성질체인 (+)- 와 (-)-methylchloropropionate에서는 리파제의 활성은 있었으나 차이는 없었으며, 높은 $[{\alpha}]_{25}{^D}$를 갖는 methylmadelate는 리파제의 활성도 없었다.
Stereoisomers of trifluoroethylmandelate(mandelic acid trifluoroethylester) were synthesized from each isomer of mandelic acid and trifluoroethanol with p-toluene sulfonic acid in order to study the enantioselectivity of lipase in organic solvent. The products were identified by $^1H$ NMR and elemental analysis and their physical properties such as melting point, densities and specific optical rotations($[{\alpha}]_{25}{^D}$) were also characterized. $[{\alpha}]_{25}{^D}$ of (+)- and (-)-trifluoroethylmandelate were +74° and -75.4°, respectively. The trifluoroethylmandelate was found out to be as a good substrate for the transesterfication stereoselectivity of lipases in organic solvent. Any significant difference of the lipase catalyzed transesterification activity between (+)- and (-)-methylchloropropionate was not found, and even lipase activity of transesterfication was not found with high optical polar (+)-and (-)-methylmandelate.
