Stereospecific resolution by hydrolysis of esters of 2-arylpropionic acids by liver enzymes

摘要

2-Arylpropionic acids such as ketoprofen, ibuprofen and naproxen can be stereospecifically resolved from their esters by hydrolysis using liver enzymes and particularly liver acetone powders derived from specific animals such as dog, pigeon, horse and goat.
