A diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol lactonization between thiopyridylsilylketene acetals and aldehydes was used to form the /3-lactone ring in the total synthesis of (-)-panclicin D <1997T16471>. Noyori asymmetric hydrogenation was a key step in a total synthesis of panclicins A-E and was used to establish the stereocenter in aldehyde 140, which in turn directed the stereochemistry of subsequent reactions <1998J(P1)1373>. The /3-lactone ring was then formed by a [2+2] cycloaddition reaction of 140 with alkyl(trimethylsilyl)ketenes and a Lewis acid catalyst.
