Iodine-induced lactonization of ${\alpha}$-Phenylsulfonyl-${\gamma},{\delta}$-Unsaturated Amides provided 2,4-trans-substitued ${\gamma}$-butyrolactones in high selectivity. NBS-or NCS-induced lactonization of N,N-dimethyl-2-(phenylsulfonyl)-4-pentenamide in DME-$H-2O(2:1 vol)$ gave 2-halo-4-(halomethyl)-2-(phenylsulfonyl)-${\gamma}$-butyrolactone.

An efficient synthetic route to the trisubstituted cyclopentane as an useful synthetic intrermediate for carbaprostacyclin is described. Ireland Claisen rearrangement of a hydroxylactone has been employed as a key reaction.

2-methyl-5(S)-hexanolide(1); the major component of pheromonal blend of the male carpenter bee was synthesized via Homer-Emmons reaction from Ethyl(S)-3-hydroxybutyrate(2a) which had been obtained by Baker's Yeast reduction in overall yield 39%.

We developed an efficient three-step synthetic protocol of $\gamma$-hydroxybutenolides starting from the Baylis-Hillman adducts: (i) bromination, (ii) Barbier reaction and (iii) one-pot $K_2CO_3$-mediated synthesis of $\gamma$-hydroxybutenolides. In addition, we showed the synthetic applicability of butenolides including self-dimerization, conjugate addition reaction, and alkylations.
