16. To investigate the origin of the effect, the CALB-catalyzed acylation rate of (S,S)-diol monoacetate 11 was compared with the rate of monoacylation of (S,S)-diol 9 itself. It was found that they were acylated with the same rate (pseudo E = 1). The plot obtained is available as Supporting Information. This finding suggests that the electronegativity of the neighboring group is of importance.
