We report an effective synthetic protocol to access [6,6]-bicyclic lactone moieties through a regio- and stereoselective intramolecular Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling reaction followed by a 6π-electrocyclization. This method enabled the first synthesis of the elusive CD fragment of the alkaloid DHβE. Preliminary pharmacological evaluations support the notion that the key pharmacophores of DHβE are located in the A and B rings.
