Abstract

Abstract The total synthesis of umuravumbolide and hyptolide has been achieved in a efficient manner by using temporary silicon-tethered ring-closing metathesis and cross- coupling reactions as key steps. The stereogenic centres were generated by means of proline-catalysed α-aminoxylation of aldehydes and Brown's asymmetric allylation method.
