Abstract

A new synthesis of harzialactone A together with its stereoisomers was achieved starting from phenyl acetone. The key step of this new route is the kinetic bioresolution of racemic cis- and trans-isomers by recombinant Escherichia coli JM109 cells expressing Fusarium proliferatum lactonase gene (reFPL). Harzialactone A was isolated in excellent ee (>99%), while moderate to good enantioselectivities (80% to >99% ee) were obtained for its isomers.
