new approach for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated δ-lactones, a unit present in many natural products with interesting biological activities is described. The approach was based on the use of a vinyltelluride, and it is complementary to the methods using ring-closing metathesis. The sequence was performed in good overall yield with retention of the Z-double bond geometry.

(-)-Massoialactone, an alpha,beta-unsaturated delta-lactone isolated from Cryptocalya massoia, and five analogues were synthesized and their antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory activities were evaluated. The lactones were able to mimic the "core" functional group required for the biological activity of their parent natural compounds suggesting that substantially altered analogues may retain their properties.
