Optically active 3-, 4-, 5-, or 6-methyl substituted seven-membered lactones were prepared by Candida antarctica lipase (CAL)-catalyzed kinetic resolution of the racemic lactones. Among these lactones, only in the case of 5-methylhexanolide (R)-isomer reacts faster than the other enantiomer, while t

Abstract
Preparation of chiral γ‐substituted‐γ‐lactones (1) through kinetic resolution is described. (S)‐(–)‐1‐Phenylethylamine (2) in the presence of anhydrous AlCl~3~ shows satisfactory levels of enantioselection in reaction with racemic γ‐substituted‐γ‐lactones 1, where (R)‐1 remains unreacted, while (S)‐1 is enantioselectively converted to the ring‐opened amide (S,S)‐4. The enantiopurity of (R)‐(+)‐ γ‐substituted γ‐lactones recovered ranges from 62–98% ee. Chirality 16:336–338, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
