Abstract
The important key intermediate of a 20( S)-camptothecin synthesis was prepared enantioselectively using an enzyme-catalyzed resolution. A commercially available papain was found to exhibit the highest enantioselectivity with moderate activity, and the ( S)-enantiomer of 99% ee was obtained as the remaining substrate.
