The synthesis of γ-phenyl and γ-(n-pyridyl)paraconates was accomplished by chemical reduction of their respective ketodiester precursors followed by cyclisation of the resulting hydroxy diester intermediates. The cis- and trans-lactones thus obtained were separated and separately subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis with HLAP. The cis-lactonic esters had enantiomeric excesses ranging from 94% to 99%, while for the trans-isomers the ee's ranged from 80% to 93%. The same ketodiester precursors were subjected to reduction with a series of yeasts. The absolute configuration of trans-(-)-2-pyridyl paraconic acid was assigned by means of X-ray analysis of its hydrobromide salt, while the absolute configurations of the other lactones were determined via analysis of their respective CD curves.

Anodic oxidation in a mixed solvent of acetic acid and acetic anhydride containing a variety of styrene derivatives, small amounts of Mn(OAc)2*4H2O and Cu(OAc)2*H2O brought about a facile carboxymethylation to give the corresponding γ-butyrolactones as the main products in good yields.

Ethyl 2,2-dialkoxycyclopropanecarboxylates, considered as three carbon 1,3-dipole equivalents, reacted smoothly with aldehydes in the presence of titanium(IV) bromide to give γ-lactones in good yields with high diastereoselectivity.
