The reaction of a 6-membered cyclic carbonate, 4-(2-benzyloxyethyl)-1,3-dioxan-2-one (dl-1), with PPL in phosphate buffer containing 50% i-Pr2O at 0 °C proceeded with good enantioselectivity, and optically active 1-substituted-1,3-diol derivatives are obtained. This procedure is applicable to a substrate having a undecyl group to afford side chain precursors of lipid A.
