✦ Synopsis
In this paper we report the inversion of configuration of (S)-the production of (R)-GABOB and (R)-carnitine, among other biologically active compounds, from a D-hexose source, or, β-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone [(S)-1] to its (R) enantiomer (R)-1, with total retention of the enantiomeric purity, by a four-step alternatively, from the industrial waste compound (S)carnitine. During the reaction sequence, the intermediate β-procedure. The (R)-β-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone [(R)-1] was thus synthetized with an overall chemical yield of 47% and lactone 4 is also prepared, which is now under investigation as a chiral synthon for new synthetic applications. > 97% ee. This transformation opens an economic route to [a]
