An easy preparation of optically active 1,2-diol monotosylate derivatives by enzymatic hydrolysis is disclosed. Lipase PS (Burkholderia cepacia) catalyzes the hydrolysis of racemic 2-acetoxyhexyl tosylate with excellent enantioselectivity to afford the corresponding optically active compounds. In this reaction, a unique temperature effect is observed. After optimizing the reaction conditions, this procedure is widely applicable to the practical preparation of both enantiomers of various optically active compounds with high ee.

The deracemization of 1,2-diol monotosylate derivatives is achieved by the sequential combination of enzymatic hydrolysis and Mitsunobu inversion using a polymer-bound triphenylphosphine. After the lipase-catalysed hydrolysis of the racemic 2-acetoxyhexyl tosylate, the subsequent Mitsunobu reaction without separation causes an inversion of the resulting (R)-alcohol to give the (S)-enantiomer of the acetate as a single product. In particular, the reaction using the polymer-bound triphenylphosphine also proceeds smoothly, and the product is easily separated by filtration from the polymer-bound reagent and its by-products. This deracemization process is applicable to the preparation of several optically active 1,2-diol monotosylates.
