The lipase-catalyzed enantiotoposelective hydrolysis of diacetate 2 leads to the 4-acetoxy-2-cyclohexen-1-ols (+)-3 or (-)-3 with good enantiomeric excess, while the dibutyrates 5 and 10 afforded alcohols (+)-6 and (+)-11 in >95% ee. The synthesis of (-)-conduritol C, (-)-conduritol E and (-)-conduritol F and a homochiral derivative of conduritol A from (+)-6 and (+)-11 is described.
