A series of enantiomerically pure (Z)-(-)-4-(1′-alkyloxy-1′- alkyloxycarbonylmethylidene)- 5(R)-[(1R)-menthyloxy]-c-butyrolactones were synthesized and characterized in good to excellent yields via O-alkylation of (4R,5R)-(-)-4-ethoxyoxalyl-5-[(1R)- menthyloxy]-γ-butyrolactone with alkyl halides in the presence of K2CO3 in acetone at room temperature.
