Popis: Racemic hydrogen butanedioates (IIa, IIb) and hydrogen pentanedioates (IIIa, IIIb), prepared by reaction of racemic Corey alcohols Ia, Ib with the corresponding acid anhydride, were resolved by optically active bases [(1R,2S)-(-)-ephedrine, (S)-(-)-1-phenylethylemine, quinine] to give the optically pure diastereoisomeric salts from which the individual enantiomers of hydrogen butanedioate IIa and IIb and hydrogen pentanedioate IIIa and IIIb were liberated. Acid-catalyzed transesterification with methanol converted these optically pure enantiomers into pure(-)-enantiomer Ia and (+)-enantiomer Ib of the Corey lactone.
