(S)-(+)-3,4-Dihydroxy-5-methyl-5-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]-2(5H)-furanone was synthesized in an analogous manner used for the production of(R)-(-)-5-[(1,1'-biphenyl)-4-yl]-3,4-dihydroxy-5-methyl-2(5H)-furanone starting with ethyl 4-isobutylbenzoylformate. (S)-(+)-Phenylglycinol was used to resolve the methyl (S)-(+)-2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionate enantiomer, of which 1.2 g (5 mmol) was converted into 250 mg (19% yield) of (S)-(+)-3,4-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5-[4-(2-methylpropyl)phenyl]-2(5H)-furanone as a white crystalline material: mp 175-177° C. dec. (CHCl3 /hexanes); [α]25D +132° (c=1.55; MeOH) 1H NMR (acetone-d6) δ 7.44-7.14 (m, 4H), 2.48 (d, 2H, J=7.1 Hz), 1.87-1.82 (m, 1H), 1.83 (s, 3H), 0.88 (d, 6H, J=6.5 Hz). Anal Calcd for C15H18O4 : C, 68.68; H, 6.92. Found: C, 68.08; H, 6.90.
