Abstract

The potent hypocholesterolemic agent (+)-dihydrocompactin was synthesized by union of the masked lactone 5, ultimately derived from a carbohydrate precursor with the requisite absolute configuration, and hydronaphthalene 10, which was obtained from maleic anhydride Diels-Alder adduct 7 by intramolecular sulfone acylation. Extension of this sequence to the hydronaphthalene portion of dihydromevinolin is also described.
