Abstract

Enantio- and stereoselective synthesis of the right-half segment (1, C1-C9) of macrolide antibiotic rhizoxin was achieved by enzymatic approach. Characteristic features of the present synthesis are (1) enantioselective hydrolysis of prochiral p-substituted glutarates with pig liver esterase, and (2) stereoselective cyclichydroboration of the 1,5-diene 8.
