A new general synthesis of γ-substituted γ-lactones and δ-substituted δ-lactones including dihydro-5-octyl-2(3H)-furanone, a natural pheromone, is described.The synthesis involves the regioselective β-scission of alkoxy radicals generated from transannular hemiacetals as the key step. Key Words: γ-Lactones; δ-Lactones; Mercury(II) Oxide-Iodine Reagent; Photolysis; β-Scission of Alkoxyl Radicals
