Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(95)00296-2

A novel and divergent synthesis of the title compounds has been developed. The salient features of the synthesis were use of easily accessible starting material, regioselective organometallic reaction and enzymatic derivation of the key synthons.
