(R)- and S)-3-Hydroxy-4,4-dimethyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrrolidinone (R)- and (
S)-1 have been prepared by lipase-catalyzed enantioselective acetylati
on of (S)-1 from rac-1 with vinyl acetate. Controlled hydrolysis of th
e acetate (S)-2 gave (S)-1. The configuration of (R)-1 and its p-bromo
benzoate (R)-3 were established by X-ray diffraction analysis.
