05 - 112Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of a Versatile Cyclopentenone: (+)-(3aS,6aS)- 2,2-Dimethyl-3aβ,6aβ-dihydro-4H-cyclopenta-1,3-dioxol-4-one. — Key step in the synthesis of the title compound (IX), whichis a valuable intermediate for organic synthesis, is the enzymatic resolutionof racemic intermediate (III). Both enantiomerically pure compounds thusobtained can be used for the synthesis of enone (IX). — (BIADATTI, T.;ESKER, J. L.; JOHNSON, C. R.; Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 7 (1996) 8,2313-2320; Dep.
