???displayArticle.abstract???
The first asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-ophiodilactone A and (-)-ophiodilactone B, isolated from the ophiuroid (Ophiocoma scolopendrina), is reported. The key features of the synthesis include the highly stereocontrolled construction of the structurally congested γ-lactone/δ-lactone skeleton through an asymmetric epoxidation, diastereoselective iodolactonization, and intramolecular epoxide-opening with a carboxylic acid, and biomimetic radical cyclization of ophiodilactone A to ophiodilactone B.
