Lipase-mediated synthesis of the enantiomeric forms of 4,5-epoxy4,5-dihydro-α-ionone, and 5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-β-ionone. A new direct access to enantiopure (R)-, and (5)-α-ionone

Stereoselective lipase-mediated esterifications of epoxy-a-ionpl 5, and epoxy-ionol 9 afTorded suitable precursors of the enantiomers of the corresponding oxidised derivatives epoxy-u-ionone 3, and epoxy-ionone 4. An interesting development of this work is the easy conversion of enantiopure 3a, and 3b into highly valuable enantiopure (5)-, and (R)-ionone (1a, and Ib) via a mild deoxygenation reaction.
