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.
