Abstract: An empirical rule for amidation of amines which contains chiral carbon catalyzed by lipase from candida antrarctica has been proposed, anDIt is the same one as alcohols. It can be used to predict that which enantiomer reacts faster based on the relative sizes of the substituents at the stereocenter, but the recognization is very delicate to the structure of the carbon contacted with amino group. The R-enantiomer reacts faster when the amines are secondary amines; the Senantiomer reacts faster when they are primary amines.

Key words: Lipase from Candida Antrarctica(CAL), Chiral carbong, Amidation, Enantioselectivity
