A synthesis of (2R,4''R,8''R)-.alpha.-tocopheryl acetate (1, R = Ac) is described in which key, optically active side chain synthons are produced starting from (S)-(+)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoic acid (6), readily available via the bacterial oxidation of isobutyric acid. In the most expeditious approach, (S)-(+)-3-tert-butoxy-2-methyl-1-propanol p-toluenesulfonate (13, produced in 3 steps from 6) is coupled with (R)-3,7-dimethyl-1-octylmagnesium bromide [33, derived from (R)-(+)-pulegone] giving (2R,6R)-(+)-1-tert-butoxy-2,6,10-trimethylundecane. The derived 14-C Grignard reagent is then coupled with (S)-(+)-6-benzyloxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-ethanol p-toluenesulfonate giving (2R,4''R,8''R)-.alpha.-tocopheryl benzyl ether and subsequently 1. The 10-C synthons (i.e., 33) could also be prepared from 13 via (R)-(+)-3,7-dimethyloctanoic acid providing an approach in which both chiral centers as well as 8 C of the tocopherol side chain are derived from the acid 6.
