A convenient synthesis of enantiopure paraconic acid- A key intermediate in the synthesis of A-factor

Enantiopure (S)-(-)-paraconic acid 2 has been synthesised by the stereospecific benzyloxymethylation of a titanium enolate derived from a homochiral oxazolidinone and dihydrocinnamoyl chloride.

Asymmetric synthesis of A-factor

The synthesis of enantlopure A-factor ['autoregulatory factor'; (3R)-(-)-2-(6-methylheptanoyl)-3-hydroxymethylbutano-4-lactone] by the completely diastereoselective benzyloxymethylation of (4R)-3-(3-phenylpropanoyl)-4-isopropyloxazolidin-2-one is reported.
