Total synthesis of (+)-tanikolide via oxidative lactonization.
(+)-Tanikolide has been synthesized in eight linear steps with a 31% overall yield. The key step in the synthesis utilizes a recently developed tandem oxidative cleavage-lactonization of a precursor alkenol to deliver the lactone moiety.
