Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase (PFL)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrolysis of meso-2,5-bis(acetoxymethyl)-3,4-(isopropylidenedioxy)tetrahydrofuran 3 afforded the optically active monoacetate (-)-7 of high enantiomeric excess (92% ee) in 94% yield. Transesterification of meso-bis(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-(isopropylidenedioxy)tetrahydrofuran 6 using PFL in vinyl acetate gave the monoacetate (+)-7 of 69% ee in low yield (15%). The absolute configuration of (-)-7 was determined to be 2S,3S,4R,5R, by chemical correlation with D-allose 10. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
