(4RS,6S,7S)-7-hydroxy-4,6-dimethyl-3-nonanone (serricornin and its C4- epimer) may be prepared from oxazolidinone 5 in 8 steps with an overall yield of 33%.

The ester enolate Claisen rearrangement of (R)-1-methyl-(E)-2- butenyl hydroxaacetate provides complete asymmetric transfer along with 98percent erythroselectivity to give (2R,3S)-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-(E)-4-hexenoic acid.Its synthetic utility is demonstrated by the stereocontrolled synthesis of optically active pheromones.
