Enantiopure hydroxylactones from L-ascorbic and D-isoascorbic acids. Part II. Synthesis of (-)-(5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide and its diastereomers

Strategies to enantiopure 6-hydroxy-δ-valerolactones, through bis-epoxide formal equivalents issued from L-ascorbic and D-isoascorbic acids, are studied. The approaches notably involve Mitsunobu reaction on diols or triols and opening of the resulting epoxides.

Synthesis of (-)-Muricatacin and -(5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, the Mosquito oviposition attractant pheromone, from D-isoascorbic acid

From D-isoascorbic acid, a general approach to enantiomerically pure hydroxy γ-butyro and δ-valero lactones, (-)-Muricatacin and (-)-(5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide, via a four carbon atoms bisepoxide equivalent, is reported.
