Abstract

The δ‐lactone‐containing natural product (+)‐tanikolide, a brine shrimp toxin and antifungal compound, was synthesized in nine steps with an overall yield of 26.4 % by employing Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation and ZrCl~4~‐catalyzed intramolecular acetalization as the key steps. The novel β‐methyl‐substituted analogues of (+)‐tanikolide and(–)‐malyngolide have also been prepared by using the same asymmetric synthetic approach.

Asymmetric transformations of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes provide important building blocks for chemical synthesis, but are often plagued with low stereoselectivities because it can be difficult for a chiral reagent or catalyst to discriminate between the enantiotopic faces of these substrates. [1] Am
