The organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of verbalactone and (R)-massoialactone is described. The requisite stereogenic centers of the target molecules were constructed using L-proline-catalyzed alpha-aminoxylation and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination. Yamaguchi macrolactonization and ring-closing metathesis were employed as key steps in the syntheses.
