Abstract
Enzyme-catalysed acetylation of either syn,syn- or anti,anti-2,4-dimet hyl-1,3,S-pentane triol, easily obtained from a mixture of diastereome ric 3-hydroxy-2,4-dimethylglutaric acids, proceeds stereoselectively w ith preferential attack of the hydromethyl group linked to the R carbo n atom of the starting triol, hence providing synthons useful for prep aring compounds of the polypropionic pool.
