Preparation of optically active photopyridone by lipase-catalysed asymmetric resolution 1

Abstract

Optically active photopyridones possessing synthetic versatility are obtained conveniently by lipase-catalysed enantioselective acylation or hydrolysis of racemic photopyridones, and the absolute configurations are determined by chemical correlation, X-ray crystallographic and CD spectral analyses.
