Synthesis of the optical antipodes of 4-alkyl-γ-lactones

Optical antipodes of 4-alkyl-γ-lactones 3 have been prepared by photochemical rearrangement of optically active α,β-epoxy diazomethyl ketones 1 in ethanol to give 4-hydroxy-alkenoates 2, followed by reduction of the alkene bond and subsequent lactonization.The required epoxy diazomethyl ketones 1 were obtained via the following sequence of reactions: alkylation of 2-propyn-1-ol, subsequent reduction to the alkenols 6, Sharpless epoxidation to 2,3-epoxy alcohols 7, oxidation to glycidic esters 8 and finally conversion to diazo ketones 1.The enantiomeric purities range from 84 to 100percent.
