Abstract
In this account we present and critically analyze the different stereoselective synthetic strategies that have been reported in the literature for muricatacins [5-(1-hydroxytridecyl)dihydrofuran-2-ones], naturally occurring δ-hydroxy-γ-lactones related to acetogenins, which display cytotoxic activity towards human tumoral cell lines.
