Abstrakt: A new method for the enantioselective synthesis of γ,δ-disubstituted β-hydroxy δ-lactones (5,6-dialkyl-5,6-dihydropyran-2-ones) is reported and exemplified for (+)-prelactone B and its C-4 epimer. Our approach is based on the ring-enlargement of suitably functionalized optically pure 4-hydroxycyclopentanones, which are readily obtained from chiral 4-hydroxycyclopent-2-enones derived from furans. The procedure is amenable to the large-scale synthesis of the title compounds.
