Abstract

The addition of aldehydes to the new enantiomerically pure lithiated sulfoxide-orthoester 13 yielded γ-butenolides of high enantiomeric purities after elimination of phenylsulfinic acid. The cyclocondensation with ketones was less stereoselective. This new asymmetric synthesis of γ-butenolides has been applied to a convergent preparation of the antifungal antibiotic (+)-cerulenin.
