The ketone 3 has been resolved using various enzyme-catalysed reactions and the enantiomer (+)-3 was transformed into the benzoate 8 while (–)-3 was converted into the esters 10 and 11; compounds 8 and 10 are complementary sections of leukotriene B4 while compounds 8 and 11 are late-stage synthons for leukotriene B3.

Bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one (1) was reduced with an alcohol dehydrogenase from and a whole cell system () with excellent substrate enantioselectivity: 7,7-dimethylbicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one (2) was similarly reduced using the 3α,20β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase from Streptomyces while furnished both 6S-alcohols (4a), (6b) with high optical purity.
