An efficient enantioselective synthesis of curcumene and curcuphenol is described. The key intermediates, substituted butanoates 7a and 7b and their acids 8a and 8b are obtained in high enantiopurity (>99% eel by a lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution process. The enantiopure intermediates thus obtained were utilized for the total synthesis of the target compounds. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
