Abstract

The first total synthesis of (3S, 6R)-3, 6-dihydroxy-10-methylundecanoic acid was accomplished from commercially available 1-bromo-3-methylbutane in 11 steps and 25.8% overall yield. The key steps were asymmetric allylic alkylations via allyldiisopinocampheylborane and hydroboration–oxidation.
