Abstract

Large screening identified lipase AK to be capable of the selective deacetylation of pentaacetyl silybins A and B to yield 3,5,20,23-tetra-O-acetyl-silybins A and B, and 3,20,23-tri-O-acetyl-silybins A and B, respectively. Deacetylation occurred at phenolic OH groups, only. These new compounds prepared from the optically pure silybins can serve as new stereochemically pure synthons for selective silybin modifications.
