, p. 3201 - 3203 (2007/10/02)
Two epimeric, naturally occuring α-alkylidene-γ-butyrolactones have been prepared from a carbohydrate precursor, using a Wittig reaction to form an exocyclic double bond either with or without epimerisation at the centre α to the olefin, depending on the
The Total Synthesis of (-)-Litsenolides C-1 and C-2

, p. 2681 - 2688 (2007/10/02)
The total synthesis of (-)-litsenolides C1 and C2 from D-glucose in 12percent overall yield is described in which the α-alkylidene double-bond is formed by a Wittig reaction of a C-2 oxocarbohydrate derivative.
