A simple enzymatic methodology for the selective monoacetylation of 1,n-diols (n=5,8) using vinyl acetate is reported. Monoacetylation excesses of 81-87% at 74-90% 1,n-diol conversions were obtained in toluene and diisopropyl ether using Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase (TLL) immobilised on polypropylene powder as catalyst.
