ABSTRACT
A chemoenzymatic asymmetric synthesis of the title compound has been developed using an efficient lipase-catalyzed acylation and a chiral reagent-directed diastereoselective allylation as the key steps for incorporating the stereogenic centers. A cross metathesis was employed to obtain the required E-olefin geometry of the target compound.
