Stereocontrolled synthesis of the 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2(3H)-dihydrofuranone isomers

A synthesis of all four stereoisomers of 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2(3H)-dihydrofuranone was achieved in 6 or 7 steps with an overall yield of 19% to 23% from a common starting material. The source of chirality being derived from stereoselective bakers' yeast reductions of carbonyl groups.
