alternative catalytic, highly enantioselective approach to (R)-12-methyltridecanolide and (S)-muscolide, that is, chiral macrocyclic lactones which are good musk odorants. In fact, they can be efficiently prepared by a sequence of reactions consisting of a catalytic asymmetric conjugated addition of dimethylzinc to suitable α,β-unsaturated enones followed by a Baeyer–Villiger oxidation. Interestingly, high
