Abstract
(4S)-4-Hydroxy-3-methyl-2-(2-propynyl)-2-cyclopenten-1-one, which is an important alcohol moiety of optically active pyrethroid insecticides, was prepared from the corresponding racemic acetate by the sequential combination of enzymatic hydrolysis and Mitsunobu reaction, in an excellent optical yield.Keywords
