Abstract
Both enantiomers of the six major kinds of γ‐lactones were synthesized to >98% e.e. in four steps, starting from succinic anhydride. The key features were the syntheses of the various rac‐N‐methyl‐4‐hydroxyalkanamides via Grignard reaction and the enantioselective acetylation and hydrolysis promoted by Novozym 435.

Preparation of Optically Active Photopyridone by Lipase-Catalyzed Asymmetric Resolution. -The title compounds are prepared by lipase-catalyzed enantioselective acylation or hydrolysis of racemic photopyridones (IV) and (X). The absolute configurations are determined by chemical correlations, X-ray
The lipase-catalyzed acetylation of a broad spectrum of configurations of the 2-hydroxy acids 1 were assigned by comparison of the gas-chromatographic data with that of racemic 2-hydroxy acids 1 to their 2-acetoxy acids 2 was shown to proceed with high enantioselectivity. Thus, the literature-known
