Optically active 3-cyclohexen-1-carboxylic acid is a prevalent structural unit in various pharmaceuticals. Herein, by utilizing porcine liver esterase-catalyzed desymmetrization and light-driven hydrodecarboxylation, an unpresented catalytic asymmetric method for obtaining enantioenriched 3-cyclohexen-1-carboxylic acid from readily available 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalic anhydride was developed. Through experimental and computational investigations, the correlation between the steric hindrance at the 9-position of the acridine photosensitizer and the effect of hydrodecarboxylation of 4-cyclohexene-1,6-dimethanoic acid monomethyl ester was revealed.

Key words: acridine photosensitizer, hydrodecarboxylation, porcine liver esterase
