Abstract A short and efficient enantio- and diastereoselectivesynthesis of different representatives from the class of dihydro-α-pyrone natural products, including both enantiomers of goniothalamin, massoia lactone, parasorbic acid, and some derivatives is presented. It is based on the application of enantiopure α-chiral allylboronic esters in allyl additions. A short and efficient enantio- and diastereoselective
