Lipase-mediated resolution of indene bromohydrin was examined, and we have found that immobilized CAL (Candida antarctica lipase SP525 immobilized on acurrell) was an efficient biocatalyst to resolve a readily available racemic indene bromohydrin (±)-1. Enantiomerically enriched (1R,2R)-2-bromoindan-1-ol (-)-1 and its (1S,2S-acetate) (+)-2 were obtained by this method.
