Attempts toward the asymmetric synthesis of (−)-tetrahydrolipstatin are described. A palladiumcatalyzed Wacker-type reaction to convert an alkene to a ketone, highly diastereoselective reduction of a β-hydroxy ketone, selective oxidation of a diol, and modular synthesis are the key features of the successful approach.

An asymmetric synthesis of (-)-tetrahydrolipstatin is described. A palladium-catalyzed regioselectiveoxidation of an alkene to a ketone, highlydiastereoselective reduction of a β-hydroxy ketone, selective oxidation of a diol, and modular synthesis are the key features of the synthesis.
