(S)- and (R)-Isopentenyl pyrophosphates, which are useful precursors for stereochemical studies on the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, were chemically synthesized in five steps via (S)- and (R)-3-methyl-2,3-epoxybutan-1-ols starting with 3,3-dimethylallyl alcohol, in 18 percent and 15 percent overall yields, respectively.
