Abstract
γ-Hydroxyethyl α, β-unsaturated γ-lactone (2) is a promising intermediate for the synthesis of eldanolide and cis, cis-1, 2, 3-trisubstituted cyclopentane, which could be converted to 11-deoxyprostaglandins. In order to prepare optically active 2, enzymatic hydrolysis of (±)-trans-cyclohexene-4, 5-diacetate with Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase was examined, and the monoalcohol ((-)-6, >99%ee)with R-configuration was obtained in accored with prediction based on the three-site model proposed by us. Compound (-)-6 could be converted to the chiral lactone ((-)-2) via a sequence of reactions involving ring cleavage.
