Abstract

An efficient and enantiocontrolled total synthesis of natural (-)- xanthorrhizol (3) has been accomplished by employing the lipase-mediated asymmetric acetylation of the σ-symmetrical prochiral 2-aryl-1,3-propanediol (7) leading to the formation of the optically enriched monoacetate (6) as the key step.
