Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(95)00250-S

A complete kinetic resolution of 2,2-dimethylmethylenecyclohexene oxide and a partial resolution of the cis and trans-2-methylmethylenecyclohexene oxides, but not of their 3-methyl substituted isomers, have been achieved by partial hydrolysis to the corre
