Enantioselective synthesis of furo[2,3-b]furans, a spongiane diterpenoid substructure.

Org. Lett. 7(24) , 5353-6, (2005)

[structure: see text] A short and enantioselective synthesis of cis-fused 5-oxofuro[2,3-b]furans, being found in many spongiane diterpenoid natural products, is reported starting from inexpensive methyl 2-furoate. Moreover, the acid-catalyzed rearrangement of...

Asymmetric synthesis of both enantiomers of arteludovicinolide A.

Org. Lett. 15(13) , 3420-3, (2013)

The first total synthesis of either enantiomer of Arteludovicinolide A and their biological evaluation is reported, featuring a new strategy for the asymmetric construction of γ-butyrolactones with stereogenic side chains in the 4-position. Starting from the ...
