The enzymatic desymmetrization/resolution of epoxydiols generated from the basic epoxidation and reduction of 1,4-naphthoquoinone, 5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone and 5,8-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone is described. 2,3-Epoxy-1(alpha),2(alpha),3(alpha),4(alpha)-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,4-diol and 5,8-diallyloxy-2,3-epoxy-1(alpha),2(alpha),3(alpha),4(alpha)-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,4-diol were desymmetrized in the presence of isopropenyl acetate using Burholderia cepacia lipase and Candida antartica lipase B, respectively. An enzymatic resolution of 8-benzyloxy-2,3-epoxy-1(alpha),2(alpha),3(alpha),4(alpha)-tetrahydronaphthalene-1,4-diol using B. cepacia lipase in isopropenyl acetate is also described.
