(+/-)-2-Hydroxymethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene. (+/-)-2-acetoxymethylbi
cyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene and their hexachlorinated derivatives were reso
lved via CCL- and PLE-catalysed hydrolysis to afford enantiomerically enric
hed products with e.e.s of 61-93%. The absolute configurations were determi
ned by transforming 2-hydroxymethylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene into the 2
-formylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene with known absolute configuration. (C)
