A short synthesis of the title compound, 16, from D-ribonolactone is described.Two alternative approaches differing in the timing of the C=C double bond creation are used to prepare some chiral derivatives of 16. (-)-Ranunculin, a glycoside present in Ranunculaceae, has been synthetized for the first time.
