By using microorganisms (their esterase), (±)-trans and cis-2-methylcyclohexyl acetates were asymmetrically hydrolyzed to (-)-traps-2-methylcyclohexanol with (+)-trans-2-methylcyclohexyl acetate and (-)-cis-2-methylcyclohexanol with (+)-cis-2-methylcyclohexyl acetate. Similarly (±)-traps and cis-3-methylcyclohexyl acetates were hydrolyzed by the same microorganisms to give (+)-trans-3-methylcyclohexanol with (-)-tians-3-methylcyclohexyl acetate and (-)-cis-3-methylcyclohexanol with (+)-cis-3-methylcyclohexyl acetate.
