The important key intermediate of quinolone analogue synthesis, (1S,2S)- 2-fluorocyclopropanecarboxylic acid, was prepared enantioselectively by a microbial resolution. One of the strains with the highest enzymatic specificity was selected from soil and when lyophilized cells were treated with corresponding ester, the remaining (1S,2S)-ester was obtained with high enantiomeric purity (98% e.e.).
