Abstract

The methyl-1 alkyl 5 dienols 6 and 7 react with maleic anhydride to give the intramolecular Diels-Alder adducts 11 to 14. The epoxydation of these unsaturated lactones occurs with a good diastereoselectivity. This short sequence allows an efficient synthesis of polyfunctionnalized lactones bearing seven asymmetric centers. An extension to chiral synthesis appears possible since the starting dienols could be obtained in a chiral form ...
