Novozyme 435 (Candida antarctica Lipase B) effects the kinetic resolution of both 3-benzylthia-4-hydroxycyclopentanone and its six-membered ring analogue, providing a novel route to both enantiomers of 4-benzylthiacyclopent-2-enone and the two enantiomers of 4-hydroxycyclohex-2- enone, all in a state of very high optical purity.
