A simple chiral synthesis of both (R)- and (S)-mevalonolactones from a single precursor via diastereocontrolled oxygenation

Abstract
A synthesis of (R)- and (S)-mevalonolactones (10) has been developed from the common chiral lactone precursor (1) by diastereocontrolled oxygenation with a molybdenum peroxide complex.
