A practical and short synthesis of the enantiomerically pure dihydropyrimid
one antitypertensive agent (R)-SQ 32926 has been developed. The key step in
the synthesis is the enzymatic resolution of an N3-acetoxymethyl-activated
dihdropyrimidone precursor by Thermomyces lanuginosus lipase. The absolute
configuration of (R)-SQ 32926 was confirmed by circular dichroism spectros
