The first synthesis of ethyl (+)-(2R,3S,4S,5S)-4,5-epoxy-2,3-dihydroxy-6-methyl heptanoate (5) and ethyl (-)-(2R,3S,4R,5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy-6-methyl heptanoate (11) was achieved and the key steps involved the construction of chiral carbon centers by the asymmetric epoxidation and dihydroxylation. This efficiently concise strategy has better stereochemistry and is adapted to the synthesis of polyhydroxyl fatty acid analogues. The primary tests of compounds 5 and 11 showed better inhibitory activities against HL60 cell line.

Key words: (+)-(2R,3S,4S,5S)-4,5-epoxy-2,3-dihydroxy-6-methyl heptanoate, ethyl (-)-(2R,3S,4R, 5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxy-6-methyl heptanoate, asymmetric dihydroxylation, antitumor activity
