Abstract
Biocatalyst-mediated efficient preparation of highly enantiomerically enriched (R)-5-hexanolide (1) is described. The enantioselective reduction of 5-oxohexanoic acid with Yamadazyma farinosa IFO 10896 and the subseqent lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution gave (R)-1 in 62% yield with 99.7% e.e.
