Preparative-scale horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of mesoexo- and endo-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane diols provides a direct one-step route to enantiomerically pure chiral γ-lactones of the oxabicyclic series.

A synthesis of the civet constituent, (+)-(S,S)-(cis-6-methyltetrahydropyran-2-yl)acetic acid, is described, in which the key stereochemistry of the chiral starting material is set by an enantiotopically selective, porcine pancreatic lipase-catalyzed, hydrolysis of a meso diester.

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure (+)-grandisol has been achieved from an enzymically generated chiral synthon. The synthesis is an efficient one, the yield of optically pure material being 12% up to the penultimate step and 3% overall.
