Useful chiral synthons, (3R)- and (3S)-[(tert- butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]pentanedioic acid monomethyl ester, (R)-1 and (S)-1, were obtained by optical resolution of a racemic mixture of 1. Sulfoxide 8 has been developed from (S)-1 as a new building block for preparing HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Two alternate chiral synthons 2 and 8, synthesized from (R)-1 and (S)-1, respectively, were employed for enantioconvergent synthesis of potent inhibitor 15 containing a pyrrole moiety.

A novel series of methanesulfonamide pyrimidine- and N-methanesulfonyl pyrrole-substituted 3,5-dihydroxy-6-heptenoates were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase in vitro. Monocalcium bis(+)-7-[4-(4-fluorophenyl)-6-isopropyl-2-(N-methyl-N- methanesulfonylaminopyrimidin)-5-yl]-(3R,5S)-dihydroxy- (E)-6-heptenoate (3a, S-4522) was selected as a candidate for further evaluation. Compound 3a was approximately four times more potent than lovastatin sodium salt (in inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase in vitro (IC50 = 11 nM). Compound 3a was shown to be the most potent cholesterol biosynthesis inhibitor in this series (IC50 = 1.12 nM) in rat isolated hepatocytes; its inhibitory activity was approximately 100 times more potent than pravastatin.
