    Abstract

    (11R, 12S)-lactobacillic acid (1) has been prepared either from D-mannitol by asymmetric cyclopropanation or from cycyclopropane-1, 2-dimethanol by enzymatic desymmetrisation. The syntheses of (11S, 12R)-lactobacillic acid (2) and (1R, 2S) 1(3'-methoxycarbonylpropyl)-2-octadecylcopropane (26) and related analogues (27 and 28) have also been achieved.
