Abstract
Abstract Starting from cycloheptatriene, 3,5-cycloheptadienol ( 1 ) has been prepared and elaborated to meso -6-( t -butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-cycloheptene-1,4-diols ( 3 and 6 ). Enzymatic asymmetrization of these diols with Pseudomonas cepacia lipase in isopropenyl acetate provides optically pure skipped triol derivatives 4a and 7a .
