A convenient preparation of the (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of O-(4-methoxyphenyl)-glycidol by a one-pot reduction of ketone 3 and in situ lipase mediated resolution is described. Activated moist aluminium oxide in the presence of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase immobilized on ceramic particles (PS-C) has been found effective for the transesterification leading to a high degree of enantioselectivity. These chiral glycidols were further used as a chiral precursor for the synthesis of biologically important 1,2-O-diacyl-sn-glycerol under mild reaction conditions. The present method is facile for the synthesis of chiral glycidols in high enantioselectivity when compared to the previously reported methods.

Optical active chlorohydrin derivatives 2a-m and 3a-m of both enantiomeric series were prepared via both enzymatic hydrolyses and acyltransfer reactions catalysed by a highly selective lipase from Pseudomonas sp..The resulting building blocks were further transformed into the corresponding β-blockers of high enantiomeric purity.
