Reaction Steps

A chemical reference for desired product was prepared as follows. Methyl (S)-(+)-3-hydroxybutyrate (Aldrich) was dissolved in benzyl alcohol and treated with a catalytic amount of titanium tetraisopropoxide. The mixture was aged at 60° C. for 24 hours. Partial concentration on a rotary evaporator and filtration afforded benzyl (S)-(+)-3-hydroxybutyrate and residual benzyl alcohol.
