## One of the pivotal operations in the total synthesis of polycyclic terpenoids is the stereospecific introduction of the angular methyl group (1). There is a limited number of methods for accomplishing the task; an entire synthesis may be based upon the intermediates
## Abstract Starting from 5βchloroβ2βpentanone (**1**) the naturally occurring 10βmembered lactone phoracantholide J (**8a**) has been synthesized as its racemate in a sequence of six steps (__Scheme 2__). Salient features of the syntheis include an internal selenium assisted acetal formation (**4β
