Abstract
Abstract The both enantiomers of threo-2-amino-3-methylhexanoic acid were prepared by resolving its racemic N-acetate with Aspergillus acylase. The amino acid enantiomers were converted to optically active forms of threo-4-methylheptan-3-ol, a pheromone component of Scolytus multistriatus.
