16. Preparation of the isobutyl ester 1 is the most efficient route to 2 since isobutyl vinylacetate is available for cycloaddition to form the substituted isoxazoline ring. The corresponding carboxylic acid, vinyl acetic acid, is far more expensive and the cycloaddition does not proceed well. Otherwise, we could have produced racemic 2 directly and used any of a number of means to form the thiolester for resolution to (R)-2.
