Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-0033-1338934

A total synthesis of (+)-muricatacin and a formal synthesis of CMI-977 have been achieved using commercially available l-malic acid based on our furan approach to oxacyclic systems, the proven scope of which is thus broadened. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.
