Abstract
Phosphorylated cyclopropanes, generated via the Rh(ii)-catalysed intramolecular cyclopropanation of α-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetates, have been found to be useful precursors in the synthesis of α-alkylidene-γ-butyrolactones. These cyclopropyl intermediates undergo regioselective reductive ring-opening and subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination to complete the synthesis. Total syntheses of (±)-savinin and (±)-gadain, as well as the first total synthesis of (±)-peperomin E, are all described using this method.
