12. The Olivo preparation (ref 9b) of (+)-4 from 1 was achieved using a four-step procedure which required two separate reduction steps in order to exploit an efficient lipase-catalyzed kinetic resolution of the primary alcohol. Paterson and co-workers prepared optically enriched 4 (98% ee) in two steps from epichlorohydrin (Paterson, I.; Davies, R. D. M.; Marquez, R. Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. 2001, 40, 603-607).
