Abstract
Long‐chain fatty acid esters of 7‐(3,4‐dihydroxybutyloxy)‐2__H__‐1‐benzopyran‐2‐one (6) such as octanoate 2a are shown to be exceptionally sensitive and selective fluorogenic substrates for lipases and esterases. Umbelliferone (8) is released upon hydrolysis of the ester function in 2a in the presence of bovine serum albumin and sodium periodate. These substrates are at least by one order of magnitude more sensitive to lipases than the commercial fluorogenic substrate 4‐methylumbelliferyl heptanoate. Furthermore, they are stable to a broad range of pH‐induced‐ and thermal‐hydrolysis conditions and do not react with non‐catalytic proteins such as bovine serum albumin (BSA).

## Abstract The development of sensitive and easy‐to‐apply high‐throughput screening methods is a common need in modern biocatalysis. With these powerful analytical tools in hands, chemists can easily assess enzyme libraries to identify either novel biocatalysts or improved mutants. Within biocatal
Two NMR-based approaches for highthroughput screening of enantioselective catalysts and biocatalysts are described. One version makes use of pseudo-enantiomers or pseudo-meso-compounds based on 13 C-labeling. A throughput of at least 1400 ee determinations per day is possible by using an appropriate
