Enzymic preparation of tetrahydrofuran derivatives of high optical purity
Abstract
3,4-Disubstituted tetrahydrofurans (1)–(4) and (7) of high optical purities have been prepared by enantioselective enzymic hydrolysis of their acetates (±)-(1a)–(4a) and (7a) using a lipase from Pseudomonas sp. (SAM-II).
