Hydroxyl-Directed Acyl Transfer Catalysis: Our research on acyl transfer catalysis began with an interest in rendering ester hydrolysis hydroxyl-directed, and thereby enable the selective hydrolysis ...

Sussman was less successful with ester hydrolysis, and attributes this to the poor contact attainable in the three-phase system ester–water–catalyst.

This article demonstrates the potential of this tool by establishing some kinetic and thermodynamic properties of ester ...
