α-Alkylidene-β-hydroxy butyrolactones have been attractive and challenging targets for organic synthesis in various laboratories because that not only they are rich in skeletal diversity and stereochemistry complexity but also many of them possess quite intriguing and wide biological activities.[1] A novel class of the phytane-type diterpenoid named Tuxpanolide, bearing α-alkylidene-β-hydroxy-γ-butyrolactone skeleton, was isolated from Perymenium hintonii in Central Mexico by Maldonado and co-wokers in 1998.[2] Now we firstly report the efficient strategy of the stereocontrolled total synthesis of a diastereisomer A of Tuxpanolide.……
