A new synthetic route to optically active unsaturated gamma- and delta-lactones has been demonstrated via asymmetric allylic carboxylation with a planar-chiral Cp'Ru catalyst and ring-closingmetathesis reaction with a Grubbs II catalyst, and successfully applied to the enantioselective synthesis of (R)-(-)-massoialactone.

Chiral electrophilic selenium catalysts have been applied to catalytic asymmetric transformations of alkenes over the past two decades. However, highlyenantioselective reactions with a broad substrate scope have not yet been developed. We report the first successful example of this reaction employing a catalyst based on a rigid indanol scaffold, which can be easily synthesized from a commercially
Addition of the dianion of (+)-(R)-3-[(4-methylphenyl)sulphinyl]propionic acid (1) to aldehydes affords two main diastereoisomeric β-sulphinyl-γ-lactones, pyrolysis of which gives the two enantiomers of 5-substituted furan-2(5H)-ones in optically pure form.

The addition of aldehydes to the new enantiomerically pure lithiated sulfoxide-orthoester 13 yielded gamma -butenolides of high enantiomeric purities after elimination of phenylsulfinic acid. The cyclocondensation with ketones was less stereoselective. This new asymmetric synthesis of gamma -butenolides has been applied to a convergent preparation of the antifungal antibiotic (+)-cerulenin. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

The asymmetric cyclization of 4,4-disubstituted 3-butenoic acids is studied. Amino-thiocarbamates are used as the catalysts and N-bromosuccinimide is used as the stoichiometric halogen source. The resulting gamma-butanolide products are readily converted into the corresponding gamma-butenolides (up to 58% ee) derivatives in one-pot. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
