title: Horseradish Peroxidase-Catalyzed Enantioselective Reduction of Racemic Hydroperoxy Homoallylic Alcohols: A Novel Enzymatic Method for the Preparation of Optically Active, Unsaturated Diols and Hydroperoxy Alcohols.
abstract: The kinetic resolution of chiral diastereomeric hydroperoxy homoallylic alcohols 1 by horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed asymmetric reduction affords the optically active (R,R) or (R,S) allylic diols 2 and (S,S) or (S,R) hydroperoxy homoallylic alcohols 1 in high enantiomeric excess (up to 99%).
