RT journal article T1 Diastereoselective and enantioselective preparation of nor-mevaldic acid surrogates through desymmetrisation methodology. Enantioselective synthesis of (+) and (-) nor-mevalonic lactones A1 Botubol Ares, José Manuel A1 Durán Peña, María Jesús A1 Hernández Galán, Rosario A1 González Collado, Isidro A1 M. Harwood, Laurence A1 Macías Sánchez, Antonio José A2 Química Orgánica K1 Botrytis cinerea K1 Desymmetrisation K1 meso-Dialdehyde K1 Nor-methyl mevaldate AB 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.
