The alcohol bicycloheptenol (+/-)-1 or the corresponding acetate (+/-)-5 couple with 2-(p-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid (+/-)-2 using lipases in organic solvents to give the ester bicycloheptenyl 2-(p-chlorophenyl)propionate (R,R)-3 with good/excellent selectivity.Similarly, 2-methoxycyclohexanol (+/-)-6 or the corresponding acetate (+/-)-7 undergo enzyme-induced coupling to the acid (+/-)-2 to form the (R,R,R)-ester 2-methoxycyclohexyl p-chlorophenoxyacetate 8 almost exclusively in a doubly enantioselective process.
