The development of a new method for the enantioselective synthesis of disubstituted γ-butyrolactones is reported. Based on this strategy, the total synthesis of three paraconic acids, that is (-)-roccellaric acid, (-)-nephrosteranic acid and (-)-protopraesorediosic acid, and the formal total synthesis of (-)-methylenolactocin and (-)-protolichesterinic acid is described, which are important because of their antibiotic and antitumor properties. Key steps of the synthesis are copper(i)-catalyzed asymmetric cyclopropanations of furans, highly diastereoselective Sakurai allylations, Lewis acid or Lewis base catalyzed retroaldol/lactonization cascades, and ruthenium(i)-catalyzed, intermolecular cross metathesis reactions.

(Matrix presented). Bicyclic and tricyclic γ-butyrolactones with 5,7-, 5,6,5-, 5,6,6-, or 5,7,5-fused ring systems, being found in xanthanolides, eudesmanolides, and guaianolides, were readily synthesized from methyl furan-2-carboxylic acid. Key steps wer
