Abstract
A versatile methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral delta-lactones containing multiple contiguous stereocenters has been developed that relies on a series of Evans' aldol, hydroxyl-directed cyclopropanation, methanolysis, and Hg(II) mediated cyclopropane ring-opening reactions for stereocontrol.
