4.5. 3,6-Dodecadiyne-1,5-diol 4a
A solution of 3a (0.5 g, 1.8 mmol) dissolved in methanol
(10 mL) was treated with catalytic PPTS and stirred for
45 min at room temperature. The methanol was evapo-
rated, and the crude product was dissolved in DCM,
washed with 5% NaHCO3 solution, water, brine and dried
(Na2SO4). Purification by column chromatography gave
4a in 80% yield. IR (TF): 3410 cm−1; PMR: 0.9 (t, J=7

A solution of 4a (0.3 g, 1.54 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was
cooled to 0°C was treated with imidazole (0.16 g, 2.3
mmol) and stirred for 15 min. tert-Butyldimethylchlorosi-
lane (0.25 g, 1.7 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred
for a further 1 h at room temperature. Water was added
to the reaction mixture, and extracted with DCM.
Purification through column chromatography gave 2a in
60% yield. IR (TF): 3380 cm−1; PMR: 0.0 (s, 6H), 0.8–1.0

A solution of 4a (0.2 g, 1 mmol) and DCM (6 mL) at
0°C was treated with imidazole (0.11 g, 1.5 mmol) and
the solution was stirred for 15 min. tert-
Butyldiphenylchlorosilane (0.31 g, 1.1 mmol) was added
and the solution was stirred for a further 2 h at room
temperature. After usual workup and purification, 2d was
obtained in 62% yield. IR (TF): 3390, 3010 cm−1; PMR:

4.8. 1-(4-O-tert-Butyldimethylsilyl-1-butynyl)-1(S)-2-
octynyl acetate 7a
In a typical resolution experiment a solution of 2a (100
mg) in dry ether (10 mL) was stirred with vinyl acetate
(3 equiv.) followed by the addition of CRL (100 mg). The
reaction mixture was stirred in an orbit shaker at 250 rpm
at room temperature for 25 h. After 50% conversion (by
GC analysis) the reaction mixture was filtered through
Celite and evaporated to dryness. Compounds 7a and 5a
were isolated after flash chromatography. The enzyme
loses virtually no catalytic activity after each transester-
ificationrunat30°C,andtherefore can be used repeatedly.
