The synthesis of methyl (−)-shikimate [(−)-2] was achieved via lipase-catalyzed optical resolution of (1S*,4R*,5R*)-4-hydroxy-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-2-en-7-one (3). Transesterification of (±)-3 and vinyl acetate with lipase MY and subsequent hydrolysis gave optically pure (−)-3. This compound was converted to (−)-2 in two steps.
