Abstract
Optically active uracil and chromen-4-one substituted homoallylic alcohols were obtained from the corresponding racemic alcohols by Pseudomonas cepacia lipase catalyzed transesterification in high enantiomeric ratio (E) under mild reaction conditions.
Key words

General procedure for allylation: Indium metal (0.506 mg, 4.4 mmol) and allyl bromide (970 mg, 0.75 ml, 8 mmol) were added to a stirred solution of aldehydes 1a-c (4 mmol) in 20 mL 50% aq THF. The reaction was allowed to proceed till the aldehyde was consumed (12-16 h) (TLC). Finally, a saturated aqueous solution of NH4Cl was added and the solution was extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried and concentrated to give 2a-c, which were purified by column chromatography.

The acetates of (S)- alcohols and racemic alcohols were prepared by stirring with excess (5 equiv) of acetyl chloride and finally washing with 20% Na2CO3 solution.
