Synthesis of the 2-Alkenyl-4-alkylidenebut-2-eno-4-lactone (=α-Alkenyl-γ-alkylidenebutenolide) Core Structure of the Carotenoid Pyrrhoxanthinvia the Regioselective Dihydroxylation of Hepta-2,4-diene-5-ynoic Acid Esters

A new strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of 4-alkylidenebut-2-eno-4-lactones (=γ-alkylidenebutenolides) with (Z)-configuration of the exocyclic CC bond at C(4) was developed. It is exemplified by the synthesis of 4-alkylidenebutenolactone 31 (Scheme 4), which constitutes a substructure of the carotenoidspyrrhoxanthin (1) and peridinin. The formation of the precursor 4-(1-hydroxyalkyl)butenolactone
