The 4-hydroxy buteneolide terminus 3, applicable to mucocin 1 and related a
nnonaceous acetogenins, was prepared in an expeditious manner from the sele
nocarbonate 2 via an intramolecular acyl radical cyclization followed by an
enantioselective Lewis-acid catalyzed Keck-allylation reaction. (C) 1998 E
