The first total synthesis of 6-hydroxy-7-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylenehexahydrocyclopenta[c]pyran-1(3H)-one has been accomplished. A key feature of the synthesis includes facile construction of the bicyclic lactone intermediate via intramolecular Pd(0)-catalyzed allylic alkylation and the efficient transformation of this intermediate into the iridoid skeleton employing silicon tethered radical cyclization.
