Chiral-lactones of both enantiomers were synthesized with more than 90% optical purities. The key step was Novozym 435-catalyzed hydrolysis of racemic N-benzyl-4-acetoxyalkylamides. Additionally, because (R)-γ-lactones are predominant in apricot, mango, peach, passion fruit, and strawberry, synthesis was attempted using only one enantiomer selectively. The (R)-enantimer was synthesized with more than 80% total yield and more than 90% optical purity by a combination of Novozym 435-catalyzed hydrolysis and the Mitsunobu reaction. Copyright
