Abstract
Both racemic 2-phenylthio-2-cyclopentenol (±)-(3a) and 2-phenylthio-2-cyclohexenol (±)-(3b) afford the corresponding (R)-acetates (R)-4a,b and the unreacted (S)-alcohols (S)-3a,b, respectively, in excellent optical and chemical yields on treatment with vinyl acetate in the presence of lipase PS in dichloromethane. On the other hand, both racemic acetates (±)-4a,b obtained from racemic 2-phenylthio-2-cyclopentenol (±)-(3a) and 2-phenylthio-2-cyclohexenol (±)-(3b) afford the corresponding (R)-alcohols (R)-3a,b and the unreacted (S)-acetates (S)-4a,b, respectively, in excellent optical and chemical yields on stirring in a phosphate buffer-acetone solution in the presence of the same lipase.Keywords
