Abstract

Abstract The stereoselective total synthesis of a naturally occurring bioactive diarylheptanoid,(3R, 6E)-1, 7-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) hept-6-en-3-ol, has been accomplished starting from 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde through two different approaches involving Wittig olefination, hydrolytic kinetic resolution of a racemic epoxide, and olefin cross-metathesis reaction as the key steps.
