A stereoselective total synthesis of microcarpalide using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as a key step is reported. L-Ascorbic acid was used as a chiral pool material for the construction of the olefinic alcohol and an asymmetric aldol reaction provided the chiral precursor for the synthesis of olefinic acid.
