Abstract: Three diesters of exo- syn-meso-oxabicyclo (2, 2, 1)-hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid and three tetraesters of tetrahydrofuran-2, 3, 4, 5-tetracarboxylic acid were synthesized and tested with enantioselective hydrolysis catalyzed by pig liver esterase(PLE).The results of the PLEcatalyzed hydrolysis were discussed.

Key words: Oxabicyclo(2,2,1)-hept-5-ene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, Tetrahydrofuran-2,3,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid, Esterification, Hydrolysis, Pig liver esterase(PLE)
