Abstract

Abstract An enantioselective route to the key intermediate leading to (+)-vernolepin, an antitumor sesquiterpene, isolated from Vernonia hymenolepis, has been developed starting from the chiral building block having a bicyclo [3.2. 1] octane framework accessible by either enzymatic or catalytic kinetic resolution.
