Abstract

A modified Julia olefination enables a highly stereoselective synthesis of exo-enol esters from cyclic anhydrides. A subsequent one-pot Smiles rearrangement gives a straightforward access to exo-enol lactones. Furthermore, the reaction was extended to semistabilized sulfones and applied to the synthesis of maculalactone B.
