The total synthesis of (±)-pederin

Abstract
The conjugate addition of phenylselenomethyl-lithium to the α,β-unsaturated lactone (4) was a key step in a short synthesis of (±)-benzoylselenopederic acid (2); union of (2) and (±)-benzoylpedamide (3) by a modification of known procedures gave (±)-pederin (1).
