Abstract

Abstract An unusually strong solvent effect has been observed on the diastereoselectivity of nucleophilic additions of bromoalkylmagnesium compounds to the lactols 2 and 3, allowing the formation of pure diastereoisomers of 1, 4-diols. Homochiral γ, γ-disubstituted γ- butyrolactones could then be obtained after oxidation of these dials followed by a retro Diels- Alder reaction as illustrated by the synthesis of S-(+)-4, 5-dimethyl-4-hexanolide.
