Hydroxyl-Directed Acyl Transfer Catalysis: Our research on acyl transfer catalysis began with an interest in rendering ester hydrolysis hydroxyl-directed, and thereby enable the selective hydrolysis ...

Existing methods of analysis depend mainly upon the fractionation of salts of the esters and the selective hydrolysis of some of them, under standard conditions, these procedures being ...

In particular, some authors attribute a catalytic role to free dissolved phosphatases in the hydrolysis of phosphate esters by natural waters 6–10. This communication reports investigations of ...
