Abstract

We report the first enzyme-catalysed kinetic resolution of epoxy enol esters. The lipase- promoted hydrolysis of these compounds provided α-hydroxyketones or α- hydroxyaldehydes (arising from the spontaneous rearrangement of the epoxy enols) and the residual esters with moderate to good enantioselectivity (E up to 100).
