Popis: A chemoselective biocatalytic procedure for the synthesis of (4R,6S)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-(hydroxymethyl)tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one, a key lactonized statin side chain intermediate, from its acetate precursor is described. The presented method is based on the pancreatin powder-catalyzed cleavage of the acetyl group in ((2S,4R)-4-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)-6-oxotetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)methyl acetate. The reaction was conducted in aqueous medium. The overall process is performed in a convenient way and economical manner suitable for industrial use.
