Abstract

The synthesis of γ-phenyl and γ-(n-pyridyl) paraconates was accomplished by chemical reduction of their respective ketodiester precursors followed by cyclisation of the resulting hydroxy diester intermediates. The cis-and trans-lactones thus obtained were separated and separately subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis with HLAP. The cis-lactonic esters had enantiomeric excesses ranging from 94% to 99%, while for the trans-isomers the ee's ...
