The total synthesis and determination of the absolute configuration of (+)- and (-)-sundiversifolide have been achieved via intramolecular acylation and Wittig-lactonization as the key steps. The xanthanolide sesquiterpene lactones, 8-epi-xanthatin (1), dihydroxanthatin (2), and xanthatin (3) were also prepared, starting from a common intermediate derived from the synthesis of sundiversifolide.

The first catalytic acylation of alcohols with a thiolester present in Wittig reagents under neutral conditions catalyzed by the Cu(II) salt through a push−pull mechanism is reported. Furthermore, a new methodology for the one-pot lactonization of acyloins by a copper catalyst is developed. The synthetic utility of this method for the synthesis of natural products is shown.
Intramolecularacylation of an organolithium leads to an efficient stereocontrolled total synthesis of both enantiomers of sundiversifolide. The absolute configuration was determined by HPLC analysis and allelopathy assay. The gamma-lactone moiety resulted from a butenolide was obtained by the condensation of a bicyclic alpha-hydroxyhemiacetal with Ph3P=CMe(CO2R).
