Synthesis of dictyopterene A: Optically active tributylstannylcyclopropane as a chiral synthon

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.73.409

Synthesis of (IS,2R)-1-[(E)-hex-1-en-1-yl]-2-vinylcyclopropane (dictyopterene A), which was isolated from the essential oil of algae of the genus Dictyopteris in Hawaii, has been demonstrated using optically active tributylstannylcyclopropane as a starting chiral synthon.
