Popis: Both enantiomers of 2,2′-dihydroxy-4,4′,5,5′,6,6′-hexamethybiphenyl (2), a potentially useful chiral synthon, were obtained with >99% ee in high enantioselectivity by cholesterol esterase or porcine pancreas lipase (PPL)-mediated hydrolysis of the corresponding (±)-dipentanoate or (±)-dihexanoate, respectively. Absolute configuration of (S)-3-bromo-2,6′-dimethoxy-4,5,6,2′,3′,4′-hexamethyl-biphenyl (2h) was determined by X-ray analysis.
