RESUMO

The first chapter of this thesis is dedicated to the studies on the application of biocatalysis in the synthesis of chiral γ-butyrolactones. We started investigating the preparation of phenylselanyl-γ-butyrolactones through the kinetic enzymatic resolution of the corresponding phenylselanyl-γ-hydroxyesters. By using this strategy both enantiomers of phenylselanyl-γ-butyrolactone were prepared in reasonable enantiomeric excesses . In the first chapter is also demonstrated the synthetic potential of benzyl 3[(R)-tetrahydro-5-oxofuran-2-yl] propanoate, obtained through a PPL catalyzed enantiolactonization in the key step. This chiral intermediate was successfully applied in the enantioselective synthesis of (R)- and (S)-γ-jasmolactone, flavors that find industrial use, and both enantiomers of (7Z)-7,15-hexadecadien-4-olide, the sex pheromone of Yellowish Elongate Chafer, Heptophy/a picea. The second part of this work was carried out at University of California, USA, between November 2003 and October 2004, under supervision of Professor Bruce H. Lipshutz. Two new reagents were developed and successfully applied in the stereoselective synthesis of conjugated polienes analogs to vitamin A .
