Abstract
Chemical reduction of diethyl 1-oxo-hexylsuccinate resulted in the for mation of the corresponding cis and trans disubstituted gamma-butyrola ctones. Both racemic diastereomers were resolved by means of lipolytic enzymes leading to the precursors of interesting natural products suc h as (-)-methylenolactocin and (-)-phaseolinic acid.
