Synthesis of sundiversifolide and diversifolide via a diastereoselective [3+2] nitrile oxide cycloaddition reaction

Article abstract of DOI:10.3987/COM-08-S(F)67

The enantioselective synthesis of the unnatural enantiomers (-)-sundiversifolide and (+)-diversifolide has been accomplished employing a diastereoselective intramolecular [3+2] nitrile oxide cycloaddition reaction as the key step.
