Asymmetric synthesis of acetomycin
Kinderman, Sape S.,Feringa, Ben L.
, p. 1215 - 1222 (1998)
The synthesis of (-)-acetomycin 1, a highly functionalized γ-lactone with antitumor activity, was achieved in five steps with nearly complete enantioselectivity. The key step was realized by a large scale lipase R catalyzed esterification of 5-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(5H)-furanone 2 providing (- )-(5R)-5-acetoxy-4-methyl-2(5H)-furanone 3 with an e.e. of 99%.

The synthesis of acetomycin and related analogs was investigated. Acetomycin was synthesized from diethyl allyl(methyl)malonate in 6.5% yield over 18 steps. The total number of steps was improved compared to our previous synthesis; i.e., four steps shorte
A Selective Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation: A Total Synthesis of (-)-Acetomycin
Ziegler, Frederick E.,Kim, Hakwon
, p. 7669 - 7672 (2007/10/02)
A short, stereoselective synthesis of (-)-acetomycin (2) from L-threonine is reported.The final step in the synthesis is a selective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation that discriminates between two methyl ketones.
