We have succeeded in the easy preparation of optically active 1,2-diol monotosylates bearing an unsaturated substituent via enzymatic hydrolysis. Lipase PS quickly catalyzes the hydrolyses of 2-acetoxybut-3-enyl tosylate, which has a double bond, and 2-acetoxybut-3-ynyl tosylate, which has a triple bond, with excellent enantioselectivity to afford the corresponding optically active compounds. The reaction is also applicable to acetates with a longer chain, which has a double bond at the terminus. To demonstrate the applicability of this method, enantiomerically pure (R)-massoialactone, a natural coconut flavor, has been synthesized from racemic 2-acetoxypent-4-enyl tosylate in several steps. Furthermore, the enzyme can recognize the stereochemistry of olefins, and the (Z)-alkenyl structure is more suitable for the enantioselective hydrolysis than the (E)-isomer.

The kinetic resolution of racemic 2-O-acylated 3-butene-1,2-diol and 1- O-acylated 3-butene-1,2-diol derivatives by enzymatic saponification and enzymatic esterification, respectively, is investigated with several lipases and esterases. The resulting part
