(3R,4R,5S)-4-Hydroxy-3-methyl-5-[(2S,3R)-3-methylpent-4-en-2-yl]-4,5-dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one

The relative configuration of the title compound, C11H18O3, which was synthesized using a catalytic asymmetric Gosteli–Claisen rearrangement, a diastereoselective reduction with K-Selectride and an Evans aldol addition, was corroborated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The...
