Abstract

Crude porcine pancreatic lipase was successfully used for the kinetic resolution of axially chiral primary allenic alcohols providing very high enantioselectivities with E values above 200. This simple access to optically active allenes was applied to the total synthesis of the fungal metabolite (−)-striatisporolide A, allowing its unambiguous stereochemical assignment.
