Abstract

As an important intermediate in biosynthetic pathways leading to sterols, terpenes, corotenoids, and other pentanoid compounds, 1 (R)-(-)-mevalonic acid or especially its lactone form (4) has been a synthetic target of considerable interest. A number of chemical methodologies have been described, the most popular of which involves asymmetric induction provided by Sharpless epoxidation of a suitable allylic alcohol. 2 Chiral pool ...
