A simple and highly efficient first total synthesis of cytotoxic (+)-crassalactone A starting from (R)-mandelic acid is described. The strategy involves the osmium tetroxide-catalyzed cis-hydroxylation and the stereoselective addition of ethyl lithiopropi

(+) and (-)-Goniofufurones, (+) and (-)-8-epi-goniofufurones have been synthesized from D-(-) and L-(+)-tartaric acids by the addition of ethyl lithiopropiolate to a chiral aldehyde intermediate as a key step, in which LDA is the best base compared to n-BuLi plus Lewis acid YCl3 (cat.).
