Lipase PS‐C(Amano)‐catalyzed asymmetric acetylation of (±)‐4‐( tert ‐butyldiphenylsilyloxy)‐ cis ‐2,3‐epoxy‐1‐butanol afforded the (2 R ,3 S )‐epoxy alcohol and the (2 S ,3 R )‐epoxyacetate, which were converted into all of the four stereoisomers of leucomalure [(3 Z )‐ cis ‐6,7‐ cis ‐9,10‐diepoxy‐3‐henicosene], the female sex pheromone of the Satin moth, Leucoma salicis .
