Total Synthesis of a Slightly Unnatural Product. Confirmation of the Stereostructure of the Archaebacterial C40 Diol by Synthesis of a Stereoisomer

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00372a051

Diol 2 has been prepared by stereorational total synthesis; comparison of 2 with samples of naturally derived and synthetic diol 1 by 125-MHz 13C NMR spectroscopy demonstrates that such stereoisomers can be distinguished by this technique and adds confirm
