Abstract
Asymmetric hydrolysis of (±)-1-pentyl-2-propynyl and 1-pentyl-2-propenyl acetates by selected microorganisms produced chiral 1-octyn-3-ol and 1-octen-3-ol, respectively, with high optical purities and acetates of their antipodes. Enantioselectivity of microbial hydrolysis changed with the microorganisms used. Also, (±)-1-ethylhexyl acetate was asymmetrically hydrolyzed by microorganisms to give (S)-3-octanol and (R)-1-ethylhexyl acetate of relatively low optical purity and hydrolytic ratio, compared with those of (±)-1-pentyl-2-propynyl acetate.
