• alcohol as a THP ether. Yadav and Yadav commenced their synthesis with the enzymatic desymmetrization of meso-diol 67 to monoacetate 66, achieving a 47% yield with an enantiomeric excess greater than 95%, using porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) and vinyl acetate in THF (Scheme 10). The remaining primary

• % yield). Saponification and fractional recrystallization from MeOH / Et2O then afforded pure 6 and 7 though isolated yields were not reported [9]. The meso-diol 6 has been used as substrate in enantioselective oxidation [10] and in asymmetric acylation [9][11]. We conclude that while conditions for an
