Abstract
Starting from (R)βOβbenzylglycidol and a sulfurβstabilized allyl anion, a (3 + 3) synthesis of the Ξ±,Ξ²βunsaturated (6__S__)βΞ΄βlactone 7 is achieved. Subsequent diastereoselective addition of a phenyldimethylsilyl cuprate and unmasking of the latent hydroxy function provides the lactone unit of compactin.
