Abstract

We describe here a divergent total synthesis of all of the four stereoisomers of dihydrokawain-5-ol starting from α-D-glucose. The approach involves the use of Ando's modification of Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons homologation to give a α,β-unsaturated ester. Subsequently, lactonization and 1,4-addition of OMe group in one step provided a δ-lactone, which was converted into the target compounds in two steps.
