Abstract

The desymmetrization of prochiral bis (2-hydroxymethylphenyl) sulfoxide 3 was efficiently performed via acetylation promoted by commonly available lipases. Two lipases, namely, CAL-B and LPL proved particularly efficient to give 2-acetoxymethylphenyl 2- hydroxymethylphenyl sulfoxide 4 in up to 98% yield and with up to 98% ee. On the basis of an X-ray analysis, the absolute configuration of 4 was determined as (+)-(R). The ...
