Enantioselective Esterification of Cyclic Dicarboxylic Anhydrides Using Chiral Amino Alcohols as Auxiliaries

Abstract
Cyclic dicarboxylic anhydrides were enantioselectively esterified with the complex formed from cinchonidine, diethylzinc, and methanol, and the half-esters obtained were readily transformed into lactones via reduction and dehydration.
