Abstract

A new synthesis of geiparvarin 1 and its dihydroderivative 2 two naturally occurring antitumor agents, possessing the 3 (2H)-furanone ring system central structural feature, is described. The synthetic design is based on the use of suitably substituted isoxazole derivatives, the heterocyclic ring acting as masked 1, 3-diketone moiety.
