STEREOSELECTIVE REDUCTION OF β,δ-DIKETO ESTERS DERIVED FROM TARTARIC ACID. A FACILE ROUTE TO OPTICALLY ACTIVE 6-OXO-3,5-syn-ISOPROPYLIDENEDIOXYHEXANOATE, A VERSATILE SYNTHETIC INTERMEDIATE OF ARTIFICIAL HMG Co-A REDUCTASE INHIBITORS.

Reduction of β,δ-diketo esters derived from tartaric acid with HAl(i-Bu)2 gave stereoselectively β-hydroxy-δ-keto esters which were reduced with NaBH4 and Et2BOMe to β,δ-syn-dihydroxy esters.This strategy was successfully applied to the synthesis of t-butyl (3R,5S)-6-oxo-3,5-isopropylidenedioxyhexanoate starting from D-tartrate.
