	abstract = {<p>A short and simple route to the synthesis of pentadec-1-en-4-ol, an important synthetic building block for the aculeatins F and epi-F, insect pheromone 5-hexadecanolide, solenopsin and various other natural products has been developed via proline-catalyzed alpha-aminoxylation of an aldehyde and hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a terminal epoxide. While the synthesis of aculeatins F and epi-F has been accomplished using a FIFA promoted oxidative spirocyclization/dithiane deprotection reaction sequence and linchpin coupling as key steps, the synthesis of hexadecanolide and a formal synthesis of solenopsin was performed using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as key step.
