Palladium-catalysed cyclodimerisation of (R)-(-)-4-(tributylstannylpropenoate)-pentanoyl chloride 8 provided a facile and direct route to the antifungal macrodiolide (R,R)-(-)-Pyrenophorin 1 in 6 steps from the optically pure precursor (S)-(-)-γ-valerolactone. The optimal conditions used in the dimerisation reaction, a 4mM solution in toluene under 3 atmospheres of carbon monoxide at 100°C, afforded the title compound in 38% yield.
