The design and synthesis of enantiomerically enriched hybrid molecules
, la-e and 2a-c, have been accomplished by employing the lipase-mediat
ed asymmetric acetylation of prochiral diol 9 as the key step. Evaluat
ion of their DNA-cleaving activity has revealed the unnatural type of
enantiomer 2a-c to be more potent than la-e with natural configuration
