Chemoenzymatic formation of 8 from an aldehyde 5 and dihydroxyacetone phosphate 6 was achieved by the use of fructose 1,6-diphosphate aldolase as a catalyst. Transformation of 8 to 20, corresponding to pentamycin C-11-C-16 fragment, was accomplished via 18a and 18b by chemical processes.

A general strategy for the transformation of D-glucose into different (R)-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enones is described.This has been illustrated by the synthesis of (R)-2--4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone, (R)-2-benzyloxymethyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone, and (R)-2-allyl-4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enone, which are potential chiral synthons for prostaglandin E2, the antibiotic (-)-pentenomycin I, and the synthetic insecticide allethrin, respectively.The second chiral synthon was obtained by two different routes, one of them involving a novel palladium(0)-catalysed rearrangement of a vinyloxirane intermediate.
