30. The structure of all Brønsted-Lowry salts examined in this work was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy, as described in the Methods section.

32. These include atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine (Reynolds, J. E. F., Ed. Martindale, the Extra Pharmacopoeia, 28th ed.; Pharmaceutical Press: London, 1982; p 304).
33. Subtilisin and C. rugosa lipase were found to be catalytically inactive in this reaction, while chymotrypsin was both active and very enantio-selective (E = 12.2 ± 0.2).
34. In 30 mL of anhydrous acetonitrile, 1.2 mmol of R,S-3 (or its quinuclidine salt) and 6 mmol of vinyl acetate were dissolved. The enzymatic acetylation was initiated by adding 60 mg of CLC P. cepacia lipase. The reaction mixture was shaken at 300 rpm and 30°C for 8.3 h (free substrate) or 12.1 h (substrate salt). Then the enzyme was removed by filtration, and the remaining solution was worked up by rotary evaporation, redissolution in 60% ethyl acetate/40% hexane/0.1% trifluoroacetic acid (which decomposes the salt), and using this solvent as a mobile phase in flash silica gel column chromatography (see Methods for details).
