The total synthesis of enhygrolide A, a γ-alkylidene butenolide natural product which exhibits antibacterial activities, is reported. The synthetic route features several key transformations, including a copper mediated Sonogashira/oxacyclization 5-exo-dig process to generate the alkylidene butenolide system and a Suzuki cross-coupling to introduce the benzylic unit. The methodology employed for this total synthesis represents a sufficiently flexible route to allow the synthesis of numerous analogs of these enhygrolides.

An easy and mild copper(I)-catalysed lactonisation of readily available (E)-2,3-dihalopropenoic acid derivatives regio- and stereoselectively leads to rarely described (Z)-3-halo-5-ylidene-5H-furan-2-ones. These compounds are subsequently able to undergo classical Pd-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, providing 3-substituted and 3,4-disubstituted 5-ylidene-5H-furan-2-ones (see scheme).
