    Abstract

    Concise highly enantioselective three-step syntheses are described for (-)-(3'S)-lomatin and (+)-(3'S,4'R)-trans-khellactone from 7-hydroxycoumarin in 97% ee and in 57% and 58% overall yields, respectively, using nonaqueous enantioselective epoxidation by an iminium salt as the key step.
