The effect of the solvent on the stereochemical outcome of the reaction was investigated in detail. The amount of bio- catalyst was optimized, and the possibility of its re-use was tested. The first example of the EED of 3-substituted glutaric anhydrides with esters as nucleophiles is reported. 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. 1.
