General experimental.All chemical reagents used in this work were purchased from either Aldrich or Fluka. Lipase Amano PS immobilized on diatomite was purchased from Aldrich. Column chromatography solvents c-hexane, ethyl acetate (EtOAc), acetonitrile (ACN), toluene, and diethyl ether (Et2O) were purchased from Chempur (Poland) while methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) was purchased fromAcros. HPLC solvents n-hexane and i-propanol and silica gel (230–400 mesh) for column chromatography were purchased from Merck. Aluminum oxide (neutral, grade I) for column chromatography was purchased from POCh (Poland). All solvents were used without further purification.

GC analysis was performed on a Thermo Scientific-Trace 1310 instrument equipped with a TG-5HT column (30 m  0.25 mm). Temperatures: injector, 300 C; detector (FID), 280 C; and column,from 150 to 350 C at 10 C/min.HPLC analysis was performed on a Varian ProStar instrument equipped with a UV-vis detector and a Vertex Plus Eurocel 01 chiral column (5 m, 250  4.6 mm) (Knauer, Germany) using n-hexane–i-propanol (90:10) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0–1.2 mL/min.Gravity-driven column chromatography with the various eluents and proportions of stationary phase given in the text was performed using a column of diameter 15 mm and height 500 mm. Samples were loaded onto the column as a solution in CH2Cl2–c-hexane and eluted with target flows of 3–5 min/10 mL amounting to total elution times of ca. 2–18 h.

General procedure for the synthesis of racemic -amino acids. Racemic -amino acids for derivatization to N-acetyl-amino acid ethyl esters 1–6were synthesized according to literature1 from appropriate aromatic aldehydes (5 mmol) by heating with malonic acid (2 equiv.) and NH4Ac (2 equiv.) in ethanol at reflux for 6–8 h. In all cases, the products precipitated directly from the reaction as white solids. Physical and spectral data were consistent with literature.2

General procedure for the synthesis of racemic N-acetyl -amino acid ethyl esters 1–6.2cTo a solution of 20 mL of absolute ethanol was added SOCl2 (9 mmol) at −10 C (ice–NaCl–methanol bath) with the appropriate -amino acid (7 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature and then heated under reflux for 1 h. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was poured into a saturated NaCO3solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 20mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and then evaporated to dryness. To the oily residue was added anhydrous THF (20 mL), NEt3 (10.5 mmol) and, after cooling to 0 C, acetyl chloride (7 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 h and was then poured into anaqueous saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 20mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, and then evaporated to dryness. The crudeN-acetyl-amino acid ethyl esterwas purified via column chromatography using ethyl acetate–hexane (2:1, respectively) as eluent. Spectral data were consistent with literature.3

General procedure for the synthesis of (R)-N-acetyl -amino acid ethyl esters.2c Racemic -amino acid ethyl esters (3 mmol) obtained as described above were dissolved in i-Pr2O (25 mL). Next, Lipase Amano PS (0.75 g) and H2O (27 L, 1.5 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture stirred at 45 C for 18–24 h. The enzyme was filtered off and the solution evaporated to dryness. The residual (R)--amino acid ethyl esters were converted back into N-acetyl derivatives by reaction with acetyl chlorideas per above for the racemic derivatives. Spectral data were consistent with literature.3
