A new methodology leading to optically pure 4-benzyl-2-furanone has been developed by employing intramolecular reaction intervening C2-Symmetric bis-radical intermediate derived from diethyl (L)-tartrate.

Asymmetric Simmons-Smith reactions of α,β-unsaturated acetals derived from chiral dialkyl tartrate or (2R,4R)-2,4-pentanediol are described.Treatment of the acetal with diethylzinc and methylene iodide gives a cyclopropane with high diastereoselectivity.The acetal group is readily transformed to the aldehyde or the ester group.In addition, the method is successfully applied to the enantioselective synthesis of 5,6-methanoleukotriene A4, a stable and selective inhibitor of leukotriene biosynthesis.
