Reaction Steps

AMANO LIPASE PS (7.0 g, 64.7 mmol) was added to a solution of trans-2-pent-4-en-1-ylcyclopentanol (10.0 g, 64.7 mmol) and vinyl acetate (19.5 g, 129.4 mmol) in Et2O (275 mL). The mixture was stirred for 16 hours, then filtered through CELITE. The filtrate was concentrated to afford a residue that was purified by column chromatography on SiO2 (gradient elution, 0-100% Et2O/petroleum ether) to afford in the first fractions the title compound (5.43 g, 43%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 5.89-5.72 (m, 1H), 5.00 (d, J=18.1 Hz, 1H), 495 (d, J=11.0 Hz, 1H), 4.82-4.73 (m, 1H), 2.11-1.98 (m, 2H), 2.03 (s, 3H), 1.98-1.85 (m, 3H), 1.71-1.60 (m, 3H), 1.50-1.35 (m, 3H), 1.29-1.14 (m, 2H); [α]D=−36.1 (c=0.73 in CHCl3). The later fractions contained enantio-enriched (1S,2S)-2-pent-4-en-1-ylcyclopentanol.
