Abstract

The 13-step synthesis of (+)-isoschizandrin reported herein features a samarium (II) iodide- promoted 8-endo ketyl-olefin coupling to assemble the eight-membered ring present in the target concomitantly with the required functionality and stereochemistry. In constructing (+)- isoschizandrin as a single atropisomer, the synthesis utilizes a kinetic resolution of a seven- membered lactone using a CBS-oxazaborolidine.
