✦ Synopsis
Racemic and enantiopure targets containing the 6,8-dioxabicycio [3.2.1]octane skeleton, can be conveniently synthesized from monocyclic diene precursors using an intramolecular ruthenium-catalyzed ring-closing metathesis reaction as the key step.

A new total synthesis of the novel lactone natural product octalactin A is described. The key step involves the facile construction of the eight-membered lactone core via ring-closing metathesis (RCM). This oxocene was elaborated to give the powerful antitumor agent octalactin A.
