Abstract

An optically-purified enantiomer of the lactone 4-hydroxy-2-oxabicyclo-3.3.0!oct-7-en-3-one or an acylate thereof can be obtained by biotransformation. It is a useful synthon in the preparation of an enantiomer of 3-hydroxymethyl-2-hydroxycyclopentene that can be used to prepare carbocyclic nucleosides as a desired enantiomer.
