Abstract

A short and efficient enantioselective synthesis of yashabushidiols A and B and the beta-hydroxy-delta-lactone moiety of compactin and mevinolin with high enantiomeric purity (98% ee) is described starting from commercially available materials. The strategy mainly comprises of iodine-induced intramolecular electrophilic addition of a carbonate occurring in a highly diastereoselective fashion and the Co-catalyzed two-stereocentered hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a functionalized epoxide as the chiral inducing step.
