Tripropoxymethane can be used in the lipase-?catalyzed esterification aimed at the kinetic resolution of racemic acids, circumventing the adverse effects of the water formed in the course of the reaction.
Uses
Tripropyl orthoformate was used as alcohol donor to investigate the activity and enantioselectivity of Novozym 435 in the esterification of rac-fenoprofen in methylcyclohexane. It may be used as a drying agent during the synthesis of squaraine derivatives.
