A method for obtaining a 5-bromolevulinic acid methyl ester or a 5-chlorolevulinic acid methyl ester from either a bromination mixture or a chlorination mixture, containing either a 5-bromo-levulinic acid methyl ester or a 5-chlorolevulinic acid methyl ester, respectively, produced by either brominating or chlorinating levulinic acid or a levulinic acid methyl ester, and further including the steps of dissolving the bromination or chlorination mixture in an organic solvent or solvent mixture and cooling the solution, preferably to −20° C.-−40° C., with the 5-bromolevulinic acid methyl ester or 5-chlorolaevulinic acid methyl ester being crystallized out of the solution. The 5-bromolevulinic acid methyl ester or 5-chlorolevulinic acid is then isolated by draining off the solution with the remaining bromination mixture or chlorination mixture, as appropriate.

Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of γ-Substituted Butenolides by Bakers' Yeast Reduction and Lipase-Catalyzed Hydrolysis. Total Synthesis of (3A<i>S</i>,6a<i>S</i>)-Ethisolide, Whisky Lactone, and (−)-Avenaciolide
Reduction of 3-chloro-4-oxoalkanoates 5 with bakers' yeast gave (4S)-3-chloro-4-hydraxyalkanoates, which were hydrolyzed and dehydrochlorinated to give (gamma S)-alkylbutenolides with >96% ee. Reduction of 5 with NaBH4 gave syn-3-chloro-4-hydroxyalkanoate 6. Asymmetric hydrolysis of syn-4-chloro-3-hydroxyalkanoate (+/-)-10 with lipase afforded (3R,4R)-6 and (3S,4S)-10 with high optical purities. Hydrolysis and dehydrochlorination of (3R,4R)-6 gave (gamma R)-alkylbutenolides with >85% ee. Total syntheses of (3aS,6aS)-ethisolide, whisky lactone, and (-)-avenaciolide from these butenolides are described.
