title: New method for synthesizing the intermediates to 5-HETE from yeast-mediated reduction products by employing Baeyer-Villiger oxidation with complete retention of enantiomeric excess.
abstract: (R) and (S)-Aldehydes 2, which are intermediates for the synthesis of (5R) and (5S)-HETE, were respectively synthesized from the yeast-mediated reductive products, hydroxy ester 3 and cis-lactone 4, through Baeyer-Villiger oxidation with complete retention of enantiomeric excess.
