Reaction Steps

6 g of (±)-acetoxy-1-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)ethane, suspended in a mixture of 100 ml of phosphate buffer (0.3M, pH 7) and 1 ml of chloroform, are treated with 0.87 g of Amano P30 lipase with stirring at 40° C. for 3 days. 2.06 g (88%) of the expected product, melting point 61°-2° C. (αD =+27°; c=1, ethanol) and 2.2 g (73%) of acetoxy-1-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthyl)ethane are isolated.
