the use of (R)-18 as the chiral building block to construct the γ-lactone-δ-lactam core 3 and cross-olefin metathesis as the key reaction to couple the latter with the allylicalcohol segment (R- or S-4). The efficient construction of the core 3 was realized by taking advantage of the inherent multiple reactivities of the chiral building block (R)-18. A highly diastereoselective one-pot transformation
