Abstract

Careful control during the bromolactonization of β,γ-unsaturated acid (4) was required to regioselectivity afford the trans-β-lactone (3) as the major diastereomer. Radical debromination of (3) followed by a three-step sequence of reactions afforded the lipase inhibitor (-)-tetrahydrolipstatin (1).
