Abstract

Optically active cyclopentenolones, which are useful as an intermediate of pyrethroid insecticides, are produced from racemic cyclopentenolones according to the following procedures; (1) asymmetric hydrolysis of racemic carboxylate esters of the cyclopentenolones, (2) nitrate- or sulfonate-esterification of the asymmetrical hydrolysis products, and (3) hydrolysis of the esterification products.
