Starting from 5‐chloro‐2‐pentanone ( 1 ) the naturally occurring 10‐membered lactone phoracantholide J ( 8a ) has been synthesized as its racemate in a sequence of six steps ( Scheme 2 ). Salient features of the syntheis include an internal selenium assisted acetal formation ( 4→5 ) and a stereoselective Claisen rearrangement ( 6→7→8 ). This general synthetic strategy offers an alternative approach towards the construction of macrocyclic lactones.
