A novel alkylating ring cleavage reaction of enantiomerically pure beta-tri
chloromethyl-beta-propiolactone as a chiral building block with organoalumi
num compounds provided ring-opened products with a chiral trichloromethyl c
arbinol moiety. A product was demonstrated to be used as an effective chira
l synthon for the synthesis of chiral bioactive derivatives such as ipsdien
ol and sodium cilastatin. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserve
