Abstract

A series of 2-oxoalkanephosphonates 2 were screened for reduction with Geotrichum candidum. Only diethyl 2-oxopropanephosphonate 2a underwent asymmetric reduction to give (+)-(R)-diethyl 2-hydroxypropanephosphonate 3a with 98% ee In turn, a series of racemic 2-hydroxyalkanephosphonates 3 were acetylated under kinetic resolution conditions in the presence of various lipases to give the corresponding 2- ...
