Abstract

Abstract Both enantiomeric series of a wide variety of optically pure 6-alkylated δ-lactones- saturated as well as unsaturated-were prepared via an enzyme mediated route. The key reaction step is the nucleophilic ring opening of enantiomerically pure alkyl-oxiranes, accessible via the corresponding β-hydroxythioethers which can be obtained enantiomerically pure via enzyme catalyzed kinetic resolutions.
