摘要:
An ester is caused to act on a 2-substituted-3-hydroxycarboxylic acid ester as a racemate in the presence of hydrolase under substantially anhydrous conditions to effect a transesterification resulting in the resolution.The compound thus resolved is converted to an optically active 2,6-cis-2,5,6-substituted-1,3-dioxan-4-one and the resulting compound is recrystallized to give optically active 5,6-anti-2,5,6-substituted-1,3-dioxan-4-one and 5,6-syn-2,5,6-substituted-1,3-dioxan-4-one. Thus an optically active compound having plural chiral centers.Further, an optically active 2,5,6-substituted-1,3-dioxan-4-one obtained by transesterification and recrystallization is reacted with an alcohol to produce an optically active 2-substituted-3-hydroxycarboxylic acid ester.
