The lipase TL ยฎ -mediated kinetic resolution of (ยฑ)-benzoin (1) proceeded to give the corresponding optically pure benzoin (R)-1. On the other hand, (S)-benzoin-O-acetate (5) could be hydrolyzed without epimerization to give (S)-benzoin (S)-1, under alkaline conditions. Further, (R)-1 was converted
