An efficient enantioselective synthesis of (–)‐(3S,6R)‐3,6‐dihydroxy‐10‐methylundecanoic acid (1) from epichlorohydrin is described. The key steps include Jacobsen’s HKR, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, regioselective opening of epoxide and cyclic sulfate. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
