Kinetic resolution of racemic 1-cyano-1-methylalkyl and alkenyl acetates has been achieved on incubation with Pichia miso IAM 4682, which hydrolyzed selectively the (R)-enantiomer, leving behind the (S)-enantiomer intact.The chiral 1-cyano-1-methyl-5-hexenyl acetate thus obtained was converted to (S)-frontalin via unsaturated diol.

Incubation of dl-1-cyano-1-metylalkyl (or alkenyl) acatates (methyl ketone cyanohydrin acetates) with cells of Pichia miso IAM 4682 afforded optically active acetates and the corresponding ketones via asymmetric hydrolysis.Resulting (S)-2-cyano-2-undecyl acetate was converted to the aminofuranone derivative without losing its optical purity.
