title: The synthesis of deoxyfusapyrone. 1. An approach to the pyrone moiety.
abstract: An effective synthesis of the C1-C10 component of deoxyfusapyrone has been achieved that will allow for the synthesis of both the (R) and (S) form of the C-8 chiral center starting from optically pure (+)- and (-)-3,3-dimethyl-2-hydroxy-gammalactone (pantolactone).
