Both OH groups of 11 were acylated (ethanoyl-, propanoyl-, butanoyl, hexanoyl, and octanoyl derivatives 6a-e), and the formed triesters were partially hydrolyzed by lipases. According to" F-NMR analysis of the corresponding Mosher ersters, the monocapronate 12d formed by PPL (porcine pancreas li-pase) showed an enantiomeric ratio of 93.5: 6.5 (87% ee). Using standard reactions, it was converted into chiral non-racemic derivatives 16 (0- ...
