Chapter 20, Problem 20.60

(choose chapter or problem)

The regiochemistry of carboncarbon bond formation between the dianion shown and styrene oxide is as indicated by the curved arrows: O O O The product of this reaction is a hydroxy acid having the molecular formula C12H16O3, which cyclizes readily to give a lactone (C12H16O2). What is the structure of this lactone?
