Abstract
Lipase-catalyzed transesterification of racemic 4-substituted 4-hydroxybutyramides with succinic anhydride proceeded enantioselectively to afford (S)-succinic acid monoester and unreacted (R)-4-hydroxybutyramide derivative, which were separated easily by treatment with an alkaline solution. Both enantiomers were converted easily to optically active gamma-substituted gamma-butyrolactones.
