A large number of significant bioactive natural and synthetic alkyl(methyl)maleic anhydrides are known in the contemporary literature. A broad range of suitably functionalized substrates have been tailored to accomplish concise and efficient syntheses of an array of alkyl(methyl)maleic anhydrides employing a variety of elegant synthetic strategies. This review presents a brief literature account of the isolation and activity of these important target compounds with a special emphasis on their synthesis.

A short and efficient enantioselective synthesis of natural product (S)-3-hydroxypiperidine has been achieved starting from commercially available raw materials employing two catalytic routes: (i) cocatalyzed hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of racemic methyl-3-(oxiran-2-yl)propanoate; (ii) proline-catalyzed -aminooxylation followed by Horner-Wardsworth-Emmons olefination in high enantiomeric purity (97\% ee) and high overall yield (38\%).
