Significance
The authors describe a reaction sequence to access highly enantiomerically enriched δ-lactones. Using this reaction sequence, products containing up to four contiguous stereocenters could be formed. The reported sequence utilized the Evans auxiliary as a source of chirality in an aldol reaction. Subsequent stereocenters are generated through diastereoselective cyclopropanation and mercury-promoted cyclopropane ring opening.
