Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of stereoisomeric carboxylic acid esters consisting of an acid and of an alcohol component each having at least one chiral center, at least one stereoisomer of the carboxylic acid ester being present in an excess, by reacting a racemic carboxylic acid ester with a racemic alcohol in the presence of a carboxyl ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1).
