Abstract

A convenient enantioselective synthesis of (5S)-and (5R)-hydroxymethyl-3, 5-dimethyl-4- (methoxymethoxy)-5H-thiophen-2-one, a key intermediate in the synthesis of thiolactomycin has been carried out by a Carica papaya lipase-mediated resolution protocol to provide (R)- 2 in a 94% ee and its enantiomer (S)-9 in a 98% ee. The absolute configuration at the C-5 position has been determined by Mosher's method.
