Racemic 2-acyl-3-hydroxymethyl-4-butanolides were resolved through a lipase-catalyzed acylation with acetic anhydride.Optically active forms of 2-butyryl-3-hydroxymethyl-4-butanolide 14 obtained were used to prepare enantiomers of IM-2 10, the autoregulator from Streptomyces sp.FRI-5.The absolute configuration of IM-2 was deduced to be (2R,3R,6R).
Organocatalytic approach for short asymmetric synthesis of (r)-paraconyl alcohol: Application to the total syntheses of IM-2, SCB2, and a-factor γ-butyrolactone autoregulators

(R)-Paraconyl alcohol is found to be a key intermediate for the syntheses of many γ-butyrolactone autoregulators. The chiral auxiliary approach and enzymatic resolution are the two common strategies employed so far in the literature for the asymmetric syn
