Neutral amphiphiles of a new type corresponding to 1, 2-dialkylated mannitol ethers (6-10) were synthesized. Amephiphile-lipase aggregates were found to function as an immobilized enzyme system for enantioselective acetylation or enantioselective hydrolysis of α-hydroxy esters or α-acetoxy esters, respectively, in organic solvents.
