<p>A process for preparing a compound of formula ( 1 ) in enantiomerically enriched form, which comprises selective hydrolysis of the corresponding racemic compound ( 2 ) catalysed by an enzyme derived from a non-mammalian source and having esterase or lipase activity, wherein R is methyl or C 2-10 linear or branched alkyl. The non-mammalian source is a preferably yeast from the genus Rhodosporidium, preferably Rhodosporidium toruloides , in particular Rhodosporidium toruloides CMC 103105 or CMC 103107</p> |
