Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Mintlactone is synthesized in a concise and efficient way by using a highly diastereoselective intramolecular propargylic Barbier reaction, followed by an allenol cyclocarbonylation. Tin(II) chloride is found to be the most effective reagent for the Barbier reaction.
