Abstract
(2R,3E)-4-halo-3-buten-2-ols are produced by kinetic resolution of racemates from the corresponding racemates. The racemate is esterified by reaction with a carboxylic acid derivative, preferably with chloroacetyl chloride. Then the (R)-ester is enantioselectively hydrolyzed with a lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens. The corresponding (2R,3E)-4-halo-3-buten-2-ol also can be obtained from the remaining (S)-ester after separation. The compounds are chiral synthesis structural elements for the production of optically active natural substances.
