Harwood, Laurence %A Macías Sánchez, Antonio José %T Diastereoselective and enantioselective preparation of nor-mevaldic acid surrogates through desymmetrisation methodology. Enantioselective synthesis of (+) and (-) nor-mevalonic lactones %D 2015 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10498/20582 %X Solvent-free desymmetrisation of a meso-dialdehyde with chiral alcohols, led to preparation of 4- silyloxy-6-alkyloxytetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one derivatives with a 96% de. This methodology, which yields the corresponding methyl nor-mevaldates with 99% ee, has been applied to the enantioselective synthesis of the ( )-(R) and (þ)-(S) nor-mevalonic acid lactones. %K Botrytis cinerea %K Desymmetrisation %K meso-Dialdehyde %K Nor-methyl mevaldate %~ Universidad de Cádiz
