The stereoselective synthesis of the naturally occurring lactones osmundalactone (-)-1 and muricatacin (-)-2 is described. The key steps in each synthesis are the stereoselective addition of a Grignard reagent to a suitably protected αhydroxy aldehyde and a ring-closing metathesis.

✦ Synopsis
We present here the application of Grubbs' 2nd generation catalyst for the ring-closing metathesis of electron-deficient a,b-unsaturated amides and esters leading to the synthesis of enantiopure azepinone and oxepinone derivatives on a carbohydrate glycoside scaffold. The relative stereochemistries of the compounds obtained were corroborated by X-ray crystallography, 1 H NMR or deduced based on previously reported results. These compounds are designed as precursors of new polyhydroxylated heteroannulated sugars with potential biological activity.
