Abstract
Abstract The title compound has been synthesized by a facile route starting from 4-pentyn-1- ol. The enantioselectivity was attained by a strategy involving a lipase-catalyzed acetylation of a solid-phase immobilized long chain α-hydroxy acid. Another important feature of the synthesis was the formulation of an efficient HgO-catalyzed O-methylation of the α-hydroxy acids which proceeded without any racemization. The alkylation protocol was also highly ...
