Enzyme-mediated preparation of the single enantiomers of the olfactory active components of the woody odorant Timberol
Enantiomerically pure (3S)-3a and -3b, the olfactory active forms of 1- (2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)hexan-3-ol, components of the commercial woody odorant Timberol, are obtained by lipase-PS-mediated enantioselective acetylation of the allylic alcohols 6 a
