摘要

An advanced intermediate for the synthesis of the Laurencia oxonane natural product obtusenyne 1. namely the unsaturated nine-membered lactone 3, was efficiently prepared in seven steps from (E)-3-hexenoic acid 7. The key transformation was the Claisen rearrangement of the vinyl ketene acetal 4, which represents novel methodology for the preparation of such unsaturated nine-membered lactones.
