Abstract
A convenient and enantioselective synthesis of ethyl (8RS, 15R)-8-acet oxy-15-hydroxyhexadecanoate 15 via a chemoenzymatic approach has been described. The salient features of the synthesis were operational simp licity, use of easily accessible materials, and excellent enantiocontr ol via lipase catalyzed acetylation of 2-alkanol.
