An advanced intermediate for the synthesis of the Laurencia oxonane natural product obtusenyne 1, namely the unsaturated nine-membered lactone 3, was efficiently prepared in seven steps from (E)-3-hexenoic acid 7.The key transformation was the Claisen rearrangement of the vinyl ketene acetal 4, which represents novel methodology for the preparation of such unsaturated nine-membered lactones. Key words: medium ring; unsaturated lactone; Claisen rearrangement; vinyl ketene acetal; selenoxide elimination.
