Abstract

\gamma-Oxo-butyramides derived from tartaric acid serve as excellent precursors for the synthesis of \gamma-alkyl (aryl)-$\alpha$, $_\beta$-dihydroxy-\gamma- butyrolactones and for the synthesis of tetrols containing three contiguous stereogenic centres. The methodology presented here is general for the synthesis of \gamma-alkyl (aryl)-$\alpha$, $_\beta$-dihydroxy-\gamma-butyrolactones.Utility of the chiral building block was demonstrated by the synthesis of naturally occurring lipid guggultetrol.
