Procedure

A mixture of 6.07 g of dl trans 4-(2-bromo-prop-2-yl)-5-hydroxy-tetrahydrofuran-2-one, 5.83 g of (S)α-methyl-3-phenoxy-benzyl alcohol, 300 mg of p-toluene sulfonic acid, 60 ml of benzene and 10 g of colored Actigel deshydratant was stirred at 20°-25° C. for 24 hours and the reaction mixture was washed with aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The mixture was extracted with benzene and the organic phase was dried and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure to obtain 9.5 g of residue. The residue was chromatographed over silica gel and was eluted with methylene chloride to obtain 5 g of A and B isomers of trans 4-(2-bromo-propy-2-yl)-5-[(3-phenoxyphenyl)-methyl-methoxy]-tetrahydrofuran-2-one. Crystallization from isopropyl ether containing 30% of petroleum ether yielded 960 mg of the B isomer melting at ≃76° C. and having a specific rotation of [α]D20 =+188.5° (c=1% in benzene). Chromatography of the mother liquors over silica gel and elution with methylene chloride obtained the A isomer in the form of an oil.
