Preparative-scale pig liver esterase-catalyzed hydrolyses of five-membered ring meso-1,3-diesters are enantiotopically selective. While pro-S enantiotopic selectivity is exhibited in each case, the absolute configuration sense of the hydrolysis in the cyclopentyl series is opposite to that of both the tetrahydrofuranyl and tetrahydrothiophenyl diesters. The enantiomeric excess levels induced are in the 34–46% range.

Pig liver esterase-catalyzed hydrolyses of dimethyl 3-hydroxy-, 3-methoxyethoxymethoxy-, and 3-benzyloxyglutarates occur with enantiotopic stereoselectivity to give the corresponding acid-ester products of 16–40% enantiomeric excess (ee). The results also provide another example of reversal of PLE-stereoselectivity.
