Addition of co-solvents such as tetrahydrofuran resulted in a great improvement of the enantioselectivity of lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of butyl 2-(4-substituted phenoxy)propanoates in an aqueous buffer solution. On the other hand, lipase lyophilized from an aqueous solution containing the co-solvents catalyzed highly enantioselective esterification of 2-(4-substituted phenoxy)propionic acids, 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid (ibuprofen), and 2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propionic acid (naproxen) in an organic solvent. An increase in the E value up to two orders of magnitude was observed for some substrates. The origin of the enantioselectivity enhancement caused by the co-solvent addition was mainly attributed to a significant deceleration in the initial reaction rate for the incorrectly binding enantiomer, as compared with that for the correctly binding enantiomer. From the results of FT-IR, CD, and ESR spectra, the co-solvent addition was also found to bring about a partial destruction of the tertiary structure of lipase.
