Abstract:
3,4-Disubstituted gamma-lactones 9 and 10 were stereoselectively synthesized from 3,4-unsaturated aliphatic alcohol. The synthetic methods of homoallylic alcohol were discussed. Asymmetric dihydroxylation of the double bond was performed by Sharpless' method with (DHQD)2 PHAL or (DHQ)2 PHAL. The stereochemistry of the product was assigned. The (3R,4R)- and (3S,4S)-compounds were obtained with high enantiomeric excess.
