Preparation of Enantiomerically Enriched Compounds Using Enzymes; VII.1A Synthesis of Japanese Beetle Pheromone Utilizing Lipase-Catalyzed Enantioselective Lactonization

Abstract
The Japanese beetle pheromone, (R,Z)-(-)-5-(1-decenyl)-2-oxo-tetrahydrofuran, was synthesized by means of the enzymatic enantioselective lactonization of the racemic key-intermediate methyl (RS)-4-hydroxy-5-tetradecynoate.
