Synthesis of both enantiomers of fluoro-phoracantholide I, namely (9S)
-10-fluorodecan-9-olide ((9S)-(-)-1) and (9R)-10-fluorodecan-9-olide (
9R)-(+)-1, has been achieved through lipase-catalyzed enantioselective
acetylation of methyl 10-fluoro-9-hydroxydecanoate (2a) with acetic a
nhydride in the presence of Lipase Amano PS (Pseudomonas cepacia). The
higher homologue, methyl 11-fluoro-10-hydroxyundecanoate (2b) has als
o been resolved. These enzymatic resolutions by acetylation of omega-f
luoro-(omega-1)-hydroxyalkanoic acid esters of long-chain fatty acids
represent the first lipase-catalyzed enantioselective esterifications
of beta-fluoroalcohols.
