Porcine pancreas lipase‐catalyzed hydrolysis of symmetrical 2‐(ethoxycarbonyl)propane‐1,3‐diyl dihexanoate, under the modified conditions of the Seebach protocol, afforded a desymmetrized monohexanoate in 40–51% yield with 91–94% ee, even in a gram‐scale reaction. The absolute configuration of a half‐hydrolyzed (−)‐product was determined to be ( R ) by conversion to a known 2‐methylpropane‐1,3‐diol derivative. Samarium iodide‐induced radical cyclization of 2‐oxo‐3‐phenylethylamine with a C 4 unit on the N‐atom, derived from the racemic monohexanoate, afforded a 3‐phenylpiperidine derivative as a model construction of the A–D ring system of lysergic acid.
