✦ Synopsis


mitting all of the synthetic samples to careful bioassay. By the request of Prof. Burkholder, we undertook the synthesis of four optically pure stereoisomers of 5-hydroxy-rlmethyl-3-heptanone. 0.rr strategy was to synthesize all of the four stereoisomers starting from a single chiral source, methyl (R)-3-hydroxypentanoate 3. This hydroxy ester 3 was readily available in quantity by a microbial process,j and extensively employed by us for natural
