Over the last decade, the use of biocatalysts has become an attractive alternative to conventional chemical methods, especially for organic synthesis, due to their unusual properties. Among these enzymes, lipases are the most widely used, because they are cheap, easily available, cofactor-free, and have broad substrate specificity. Combined to microwave heating in non- Aqueous medium, recent results suggest that irradiation may influence the enzyme activity. This Communication reports the benefits of lipases and the microwave irradiation on the kinetic resolution of racemic homochiral (Z)-cyclooct-5-ene- 1,2-diol and (Z)-2- Acetoxycyclooct-4-enyl acetate. In order to best achieve the kinetic resolution, different parameters were studied including the type of lipase, the temperature, the impact of microwave power compared to conventional heating. Optimization of the reaction parameters lead to the obtainment of highly enriched or enantiopure diols and diesters in a clean, efficient and safe way.

A pair of enantiopure chair and twist trans-cyclooctenes isomers were prepared by regioselective Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of the central olefin of (E)-1,5,9-dectriene triene, with subsequent ring-closing metathesis to form an enantiomerically pure cis-cyclooctene. Epoxidation and ring-opening with lithium diphenylphosphide gives after oxidation two diastereomeric hydroxyphosphine oxides. Separate syn-elimination of these diastereomers gives enantiomerically pure chair and twist trans-cyclooctenes. A discussion of the molecular motion required to achieve the chair and twist isomers is discussed with reference to the X-ray crystal structure obtained for the hydroxyphosphine oxide leading to the chair trans-cyclooctene.

Optically active 5-cyclooctene-1,2-diol derivatives prepared by an enzymatic procedure have been converted into bicyclo[3.3.0]octane derivatives by transannular reaction with complete inversion of the stereogenic center linked to the leaving group. Formal synthesis of (+)-iridomyrmecin has been achieved starting from (S,S)-5-cyclooctene-1,2-diol by using this process.
