Abstract

A stereoselective total synthesis of (6R)-6-[(4R, 6R)-4, 6-dihydroxy-10-phenyldec-1-enyl]-5, 6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one is reported. The strategy utilizes an iterative Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution, ring opening with a chiral propargylic synthon and a preferential (Z)-Wittig olefination reaction and lactonization as the key steps.
