Kinetic Resolution via Oxidation of endo-Bicyclic Octen- and Heptenols with Bacillus stearothermophilus.

Abstract Kinetic resolution of the racemic endo-bicyclic octenol and heptenols via oxidation with Bacillus stearothermophilus is described. The enantiomerically pure ketones and alcohols can be obtained varying the oxidation time.
