✦ Synopsis


The chiral half-ester 2 obtained by asymmetric hydrolysis of the symmetric diester 1 with pig liver esterase has been shown to be a versatile synthon for various chiral cyclohexane derivatives.

The stereocontrolled introduction of polyfunctional groups on cyclohexane ring has been well developed in recent years, 2 but the original synthons with the desired absolute configuration are not easily available for such a ring system from natural sources. Asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions using chiral auxiliary reagents 3 (intermolecular)or using chiral Z-diene4 (intramolecular)
