title: Total synthesis of (-)-anamarine.
abstract: Total synthesis of polyhydroxy δ-pyranone natural product (-)-anamarine is accomplished from D-(-)-tartaric acid. The main feature of the synthesis is the utility of hitherto unexplored β-keto phosphonate derived from tartaric acid amide and further elaboration involving stereoselective reduction.
