Abstract

The diacetate of meso-2-(2-propynyl)cyclohexane-1,2,3-triol was efficiently asymmetrized by hydrolysis with Candida antarctica lipase to give the corresponding mono-acetate in enantiomerically pure form, which was used as the starting material for the total synthesis of aquayamycin. Application of the protocol to the related cyclohexanetriols is also described.
