A chiral macrocyclic precursor can be constructed via a ring-opening reaction of (R)-(+)-β-methyl-β-propiolactone with a functionalized organocuprate with no loss of enantiomeric excess. The carboxylic acid precursor was used as a chiral building block for the synthesis of chiral muscone and musky macrolactones.
