High-Precision Asymmetric Synthesis of Stegobiol and Stegobinone via Boronic Esters

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo00076a006

Highly stereoselective boronic ester chemistry has been used to synthesize the drugstore beetle pheromones stegobiol and stegobinone.The convergent route utilizes a single intermediate containing all of the stereogenic centers for both segments of the phe
