Abstract

The specific hydrolysis of unactivated esters bearing an R or S enantiomeric alcohol has been achieved by two separate classes of catalytic antibodies induced to bind either the R or S substrates. The antibodies exhibit rate accelerations (10³ to 10⁵) above background hydrolysis that, coupled with their antipodal specificity, provide a novel set of reagents for use in synthesis.
