The process for the synthesis of statins featuring the use of an early intermediate (4R,6S)-6-(dialkoxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,4-diol which already possesses the desired stereochemistry corresponding to the final statin.
The process for synthesis of statins is presented where the intermediate intermediate (4R,6S)-6-(dialkoxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2,4-diol which already possesses the desired stereochemistry corresponding to final statin is prepared by an aldolaze.

The present invention discloses a process for preparing an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or intermediates thereof, notably particular step in the synthesis of an intermdiate useful for example in the preparation of statins, by using an enzyme capable of catalyzing oxidation or dehydrogenation. The invention further provides an expression system effectively translating said enzyme. In addition, the invention relates to a specific use of such enzyme for preparing API or intermediate thereof, and in particular for preparing statin or interemediate thereof.
