## Abstract Cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran or tetrahydropyran were easily cleaved at room temperature by sulfuric acid โ acetic anhydride providing the corresponding diacetoxyalkanes in good yield. The ring opening was applicable to saturated cyclic ethers, regardless of the presence of subs
A lipase (Amano P) catalyzed the asymmetric ring opening of 3-substituted glutaric anhydride with l-butanol to afford the E half esters having 60-91%ee. Asymmetric synthesis and kinetically resolution with enzymes has been well appreciated as an efficient strategy to prepare optically active comp0u
