Dimeric orsellinic acid derivatives: Valuable intermediates for natural product synthesis

Herein we report on the synthesis of dimeric orsellinates by the Ullmann reaction as well as by biomimetic oxidative phenolic coupling. The Ullmann reaction gives the 5,5′- and 3,3′-coupled dimeric orsellinates 9 and 10 regioselectively. Oxidative phenoli

Enantioselective total synthesis of β-zearalenol from (s)-propylene oxide

The total synthesis of 14-membered resorcylic acid macrolide, β-zearalenol, was accomplished starting from commercially available enantiomerically pure propylene oxide and methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-6-methylbenzoate using Grignard reaction, asymmetric dihydroxy

Synthesis of (3R,5S)-5-hydroxy-de-O-methyllasiodiplodin: A facile and stereoselective approach

A concise and facile synthesis of (3R,5S)-5-hydroxy-de-O-methyllasiodiplodin has been demonstrated in 12 steps starting from methylacetoacetate and (±)propylene oxide. The key reactions involved are Jacobsen's hydrolytic kinetic resolution, Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, Mitsunobu, and ring closing metathesis reaction for the construction of macrolactone with two chiral substitutions on it.
