University of Tehran Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran 1016-1104 10 3 1999 09 01 SYNTHESIS OF NORBORNENE FURYL ESTERS AND THEIR ENZYMATIC KINETIC RESOLUTION BY PIG LIVER ESTRASE (PLE) - 31432 EN Journal Article The reaction of furylacrylic acid with cyclopentadiene in toluene gave the expected Diels-Alder endo-and exo-adductsin -1 : 1 ratio. The adducts were separated by iodolactonization method to provide 3-endo-(2'-furyl) bicyclo 12.2.11 hept-5-ene- 2-exo-carboxylic acid and 3-exo-(2'-fury1)bicyclo 12.2.11 hept-5-ene-2-endocarboxylic acid. Esterification of these acids by MeI / HMPA gave the expected methyl esters. Kinetic resolution of racemic endo- and exo-ester adducts by PLE(phosphate buffer, pH, 8) provided the related optically active isomers https://jsciences.ut.ac.ir/article_31432_9802a535bbdbcec203871db6d9595586.pdf
