The present invention relates to a process for preparing a (1S,2R)-(2-hydroxy-3,5,5-trimethyl-3-cyclopentenyl)methyl carboxylate compound of the following general formula (S,R)-(2), wherein R
1
represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and a bold wedged bond represents the absolute configuration, and a (1R,2S)-(2-acetoxy-3,5,5-trimethyl-3-cyclopentenyl)methyl carboxylate compound of the following general formula (R,S)-(3), wherein R
1
is as defined above, a hashed wedged bond represents the absolute configuration, and Ac represents an acetyl group, the process comprising: subjecting a (1RS,2SR)-(2-hydroxy-3,5,5-trimethyl-3-cyclopentenyl)methyl carboxylate compound of the following general formula (RS,SR)-(2), wherein R
1
is as defined above, and a hashed unwedged bond represents a relative configuration, to a kinetic resolution reaction with a lipase in the presence of vinyl acetate to obtain the (1S,2R)-(2-hydroxy-3,5,5-trimethyl-3-cyclopentenyl)methyl carboxylate compound ((S,R)-(2)) and the (1R,2S)-(2-acetoxy-3,5,5-trimethyl-3-cyclopentenyl)methyl carboxylate compound ((R,S)-(3)).
本发明涉及一种制备以下通式(S,R)-(2)的(1S,2R)-(2-羟基-3,5,5-三甲基-3-环戊烯基)甲酸酯化合物的方法,其中R1表示具有1至6个碳原子的一价烃基,粗体楔头线代表绝对构型,以及以下通式(R,S)-(3)的(1R,2S)-(2-乙酰氧基-3,5,5-三甲基-3-环戊烯基)甲酸酯化合物,其中R1如上定义,哈希楔头线代表绝对构型,Ac代表乙酰基,该方法包括:将以下通式(RS,SR)-(2)的(1RS,2SR)-(2-羟基-3,5,5-三甲基-3-环戊烯基)甲酸酯化合物,其中R1如上定义,哈希未楔头线代表相对构型,与脂肪酶在乙酸乙烯酯存在下进行动力学分辨反应,以获取(1S,2R)-(2-羟基-3,5,5-三甲基-3-环戊烯基)甲酸酯化合物((S,R)-(2))和(1R,2S)-(2-乙酰氧基-3,5,5-三甲基-3-环戊烯基)甲酸酯化合物((R,S)-(3))。
