An iterative method for synthesizing polyketides was demonstrated, in which the chain elongation of a carboxylic acid was performed by decarboxylative dehydration condensation with a malonic acid half thioester. After transforming the resulting β-ketothioester into an appropriate form, the carboxylic acid functionality was regenerated for the next elongation step.

A rapid and diverse synthesis of biologically important 6-substituted-5,6-dihydro-4-hydroxy-2-pyrones through a double Reformatsky reaction of aldehydes to δ-hydroxy-β-ketoesters followed by lactonization is described. Due to the high functional group tolerance and reaction site discrimination between aldehyde, nitrile, and ester groups in the substrate, the protocol can provide the dihydropyrones with bromo, nitro, carboxylic acid, and β-ketoester groups, which are suitable for the further derivatizations. Furthermore, the protocol has been successfully applied to the rapid total synthesis of naturally occurring Yangonin.
