Popis: Both enantiomers of C 2 -symmetric dimethyl 3,7-dihydroxybicyclo[3.3.0]-octa-2,6-diene-2,6-dicarboxylate 3 were prepared in enantiomerically pure form from symmetric tetraester 1 by the lipase-catalyzed demethoxycarbonylation, respectively. Double asymmetric differentiation with lipase in the above demethoxycarbonylation was observed. Their applications to formal total syntheses of (+)-carbacyclin and (−)-ajmalicine including (−)-tetrahydroalstonine are also described.
