Abstract
The lactonic part of (+)-compactin and (+)-mevinolin as well as a comp actin analogue were synthesized in an enantioselective way from a beta ,delta-diketo sulfoxide easily obtained by the reaction of the trianio n of methyl 3,5-dioxohexanoate with (-)-menthyl (S)-p-toluenesulfinate . The main reaction was the two-step stereoselective reduction of beta ,delta-diketo sulfoxide without any protective group.
