a

Enantiomeric excess (ee) = 100 × (A − B)/(A + B), where A and B are enantiomers and A is greater than B.

b

Percentage of conversion (c) = ees/(ees + eep), where subscripts s and p represent remaining ester and product, respectively.

c

Enantiomeric ratio (E) = ln[1 − c(1 + eep)]/ln[1 − c(1 − eep)].

d

ND, not detected.
