Abstract
Stereoselective synthesis of the bioactive styryllactones (+)-9-deoxygoniopypyrone,
(+)-goniopypyrone and (+)-7-epi -goniofufurone has been achieved from d -(-)-tartaric acid. The key step involves the elaboration of a trihydroxy ester to
the title compounds utilizing high-yielding stereoselective transformations.
Key words
styryllactone - goniopypyrone - 7-epi -goniofufurone - tartaric acid

The diastereomeric ratio (5:1) of the formed alcohols was estimated by 1 H NMR spectroscopy. The stereochemistry of the alcohols was further corroborated by
conversion into the natural product. Following a sequence that is outlined for goniopypyrone,
the major product obtained in the addition of vinylmagnesium bromide to aldehyde 17 was converted into 9-epi -goniopypyrone in 10.5% overall yield starting from trihydroxy ester (Scheme
