A simple and inexpensive synthetic route which affords S-(-)-4-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one (1a) with high stereoselectivity and moderate enantioselectivity is reported. A key step in this procedure involves baker's yeast promoted reduction of 1α,4α,4aα,6,7,8aα-hexahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalene-5,8-dione (3), which affords optically active 8-hydroxy-1α,4α,4aα,8β,8aα-tetrahydro-1,4-methanonaphthalen-5(1H) -one (4a, 80% de, 67% ee) in 32% yield. The absolute configuration of the 3,5-dinitrobenzoate ester of 4a (i.e., 5a) was established unequivocally via single crystal X-ray structural analysis.
An efficient protocol for the enantioselective preparation of a key polyfunctionalized cyclohexane. New access to (R)- and (S)-4-hydroxy-2- cyclohexenone and (R)- and (S)-trans-cyclohex-2-ene-1,4-diol

(Chemical Equation Presented) Starting from very accessible raw materials such as p-methoxyphenol, ethylene glycol, and thiophenol, a protocol has been developed to prepare multigram quantities of the polyfunctionalized cyclohexane (±)-7. A highly efficie

Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica Lipase B) effects the kinetic resolution of both 3-benzylthia-4-hydroxycyclopentanone and its six-membered ring analogue, providing a novel route to both enantiomers of 4-benzylthiacyclopent-2-enone and the two enantiomers of 4-hydroxycyclohex-2- enone, all in a state of very high optical purity.
