Herein the preparative (1 g scale), stereoselective syntheses of various alkyl-substituted γ-butyrolactone fragrances 1 is described. The α,β-unsaturated γ-keto esters 2 as starting materials were synthesized by a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction and are further reduced by an ene reductase and alcohol dehydrogenase in a one-pot enzyme cascade to nine desired γ-butyrolactones 1, among them whisky (1 c) and cognac lactone (1 d). The products 1 were obtained in moderate to good yields and very good diastereoselectivities. Furthermore, the position of a nBu-substituent was permutated to study the effect on the enzyme cascade.
Organocatalytic sequential α-aminoxylation and cis-Wittig olefination of aldehydes: Synthesis of enantiopure γ-butenolides

A short route to enantiopure γ-butenolides (up to 99% ee) has been developed from readily available starting materials. The strategy involves a sequential organocatalytic α-aminoxylation followed by cis-Wittig olefination of aldehydes. The utility of this protocol has been demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of trans-(+)-cognac lactone with high enantiomeric purity.
