An efficient asymmetric synthesis of grenadamide

The cyclopropane containing natural product grenadamide has been prepared in six steps using (R)-5,5-dimethyl-oxazolidin-2-one as a chiral auxiliary for asymmetric synthesis. Key synthetic steps include the use of the β-hydroxyl group of a syn-aldol produ

Asymmetric synthesis of chiral δ-lactones containing multiple contiguous stereocenters

A versatile methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral δ-lactones containing multiple contiguous stereocenters has been developed that relies on a series of Evans' aldol, hydroxyl-directed cyclopropanation, methanolysis, and Hg(II) mediated cyclopropane ring-opening reactions for stereocontrol.
