Abstract

A new practical enzymatic approach to (+)- and (-)-2-acetoxy/hydroxycyclopentanones with 96-98% ee has been described via enzymatic hydrolysis of the meso-diacetate 2, Swern oxidation of the thus formed (±)-hydroxy acetates 3 and 4, followed by re-enzymatic resolution. Enantiomerically pure (+)- and (-)-2-hydroxycyclopentanones are in equilibrium with enediol 9 and slowly undergo racemisation, a process which could be arrested by protecting the hydroxyl group as the acetate.
