Abstract: The asymmetric esterification of glycidol catalyzed by lipase was carried out in a nonaqueous medium. The effect of the replacement of water necessary for the funct ion of lipase with water-mimicking solvent on the resolution was investigated. It's found that the water produced from enzymatic esterification could be removed s uccessfully by addition of acetonitrile(0.4%, volume fraction) and 0.04 g anhydrous Na2SO4 into the reaction system. Under the optimal conditions, R- glycidyl butyrate with about ee 90% was prepared.

Key words: glycidol, lipase, esterification, water-mimicking solvent
