α-Hydroxy-β-methyl-γ-hydroxy esters not only are found in many natural products and potent drugs but also are useful intermediates in organic synthesis due to their highly functionalized skeleton that can be further manipulated and applied in the synthesis of many compounds with remarkable biological activities. This work was based on a chemoenzymatic approach to obtain these molecules with three contiguous
