A synthesis of (+)-calopin (1a) was achieved employing a highly stereoselective ene reaction between 8-phenylmenthyl glyoxylate (3) and the β,β-dimethylstyrene 4c. Transesterification of the resulting homoallylic alcohol 5c, followed by allylic oxidation and hydrogenation yielded the δ-lactone 13 which was deprotected to the natural product 1a.
