Abstract
Chemical reduction of diethyl 1-oxo-hexylsuccinate resulted in the formation of the corresponding cis and trans disubstituted γ-butyrolactones. Both racemic diastereomers were resolved by means of lipolytic enzymes leading to the precursors of interesting natural products such as (−)-methylenolactocin and (−)-phaseolinic acid.
