Abstract

Starting from (R)‐O‐benzylglycidol and a sulfur‐stabilized allyl anion, a (3 + 3) synthesis of the Ξ±,β‐unsaturated (6__S__)‐δ‐lactone 7 is achieved. Subsequent diastereoselective addition of a phenyldimethylsilyl cuprate and unmasking of the latent hydroxy function provides the lactone unit of compactin.
