19. Optical purity of the products was determined by HPLC using a column with a chiral stationary phase (CHIRALCEL OD, elution with i-PrOH/hexane 20:80 v/v for 4 and i-PrOH/hexane 10:90 v/v for 2).
20. Typical Procedure for the Lipase-Mediated Transesterification. A suspension of (±)-2 (503 mg, 2.16 mmol), vinyl acetate (0.2 mL, 2.16 mmol), and Lipase AK (100 mg) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 48 h. After filtration through a Celite pad, the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure and chromatographed (silica gel, elution with AcOEt/hexane, 1:4 to 1:1 v/v) to give (-)-4 (293 mg, 49%) and (-)-2 (225 mg, 45%).
