title: A short stereoselective synthesis of (+)-(6R,2'S)-cryptocaryalactone via ring-closing metathesis.
abstract: A short stereoselective synthesis of (+)-(6R,2'S)-cryptocaryalactone was successfully completed. Key steps included the application of Carreira's asymmetric alkynylation reaction to form a propargylic alcohol and subsequently lactone formation using the powerful ring-closing metathesis reaction.
