Popis: A series of highly enantioenriched hydroxy- and dihydroxy-fatty esters were required as part of our ongoing investigation into cytochrome P450 BioI . This mediates the biosynthesis of pimelic acid via C–C bond cleavage of long chain fatty acids within Bacillus subtilis . Herein we report the synthesis of various stereoisomers of methyl 7-hydroxytetradecanoate, methyl 8-hydroxytetradecanoate, and methyl 7,8-dihydroxytetradecanoate in highly enantioenriched form, using a combination of asymmetric synthesis and a preparative enantioselective HPLC is reported.
