A novel process for the preparation of sulfonic acid esters containing a lactonic ring comprising compounds in the trans form in the 4- and 5-positions having (4SR,5RS), (4S,5R) or (4R,5S) configuration of the formula <IMAGE> I wherein Z is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and cycloalkyl and monocyclic aryl optionally substituted with at least one member of the group consisting of alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogen and nitro and R is organic residue of an optionally chiral alcohol of the formula ROH and a process using the compounds of formula I to prepare compounds of (1RS, 4RS, 5SR), (1S, 4S, 5R) or (1R, 4R, 5S) configuration of the formula <IMAGE> V wherein X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and R useful for the preparation of insecticidally active esters.
