A highly convergent and efficient synthesis of (-)-microcarpalide, a 10-membered lactone displaying remarkable microfilament disrupting activity is described. Ring-closing metathesis and Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylations are the key steps. Our strategy highlights the application of novel hydroxy lactone precursors for the stereoselective synthesis of (-)-microcarpalide. (C) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An efficient, short and convenient asymmetric synthesis of (R)-(+)-lipoic acid in seven steps from chiral hydroxy aldehyde with 32.5\% overall yield is described. Synthesis of S and R enantiomers of a-lipoic acid from cis-1,4-butene diol derived chiral lactone is reported with 34 \% overall yield. The present synthesis involves use of simple reaction conditions making it a convenient synthesis. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
