Enantiopure hydroxylactones from L-ascorbic and D-isoascorbic acids. Part I. Synthesis of (-)-muricatacin

From D-isoascorbic acid, via a formal bis-epoxide equivalent with a C-2 axis of symmetry, two possible syntheses of the (-)-Muricatacin are described.

Synthesis of (-)-Muricatacin and -(5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, the Mosquito oviposition attractant pheromone, from D-isoascorbic acid

From D-isoascorbic acid, a general approach to enantiomerically pure hydroxy γ-butyro and δ-valero lactones, (-)-Muricatacin and (-)-(5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, via a four carbon atoms bisepoxide equivalent, is reported.
