Cyclic ketones bearing α-quaternary stereocenters underwent efficient kinetic resolution using cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. Lactones possessing tetrasubstituted stereocenters were obtained with high enantioselectivity (up to >99 % ee) and complete chemoselectivity. Preparative-scale biotransformations were exploited in conjunction with a SmI<sub>2</sub> -mediated cyclization process to access complex, enantiomerically enriched cycloheptan- and cycloctan-1, ...[more]
