A short route to enantiopure γ-butenolides (up to 99% ee) has been developed from readily available starting materials. The strategy involves a sequential organocatalytic α-aminoxylation followed by cis-Wittig olefination of aldehydes. The utility of this protocol has been demonstrated in the asymmetric synthesis of trans-(+)-cognac lactone with high enantiomeric purity.
