Total Synthesis of dl-Ancistrofuran: A Study of Cyclic Ether Formation

A six-step synthesis of dl-ancistofuran (1) and its C-2 epimer (31) which involves a mercuric ion initiated diene cyclization of homogeranic acid to give lactone 16 and the phenylselenenyl chloride induced cyclization of alkylidene lactone 19 has been ach
