Various (R)- and (S)-1-trimethylsilyl-1-alkyn-3-ols, chiral building u
nits useful for the synthesis of biologically active compounds, have b
een efficiently resolved by enantioselective acetylation mediated by i
mmobilized lipase PS. The resolution is applied to the synthesis of (R
)- and (S)-5-octyl-2-(5H)-furanones. (C) 1997, Elsevier Science Ltd. A
