✦ Synopsis
Reduction of 3-chloro-2-oxoalkanoates 1 with NaBH4 gave predominantly syn-3-chloro-2-hydroxyalkanoates 2 (synlanti=9119-9911) in 50--97% yields. Resolution of syn-2 by lipase-catalyzed transesterification gave (2S,3S)-2 and (2R,3R)-2-acetoxy-3chloroalkanoates (2R,3R)-3. Total synthesis of (-)-disparlure, the pheromone of the gypsy moth was established from (2S,3S)-2g via 4 steps in 34.9% overall yield. (~)
