Abstract

(+)-exo-Brevicomin of enantiomerically pure form and its (+)-endo-isomev of 77% e. e. were synthesized via lipase-eatalyzed acetylation of syn-2-(l-hydroxypropyl)-6-methyl-3,4-dihydro-2 H-pyran (syn-2) and anti-2, respectively, both of which were accessible by stereoselective reduction of 2-propionyl-6-methyl-3, 4-dihydro-2 H-pyran (1). Similarly, (-)-forntalin of 91% e. e. was obtained via consecutive enzymatic hydrolysis or acetylation of 2-methoxycarbonyl (5), 2-hydroxymethyl (6), and 2-acetoxymethyl derivative (7) of 2, 6-dimethyl-3, 4-dihydro-2 H-pyran.
