Preparation of optically active 2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl via microbial resolution of the corresponding racemic diester

Abstract
An efficient microbial resolution of 2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binathyl has been achieved by exposing the corresponding dibutyrate to Bacillus sp; the importance of the size of the ester group for hydrolysis rate and selectivity is emphasized.
