Total synthesis of (-)-muricatacin, a natural acetogenin, has been achieved using as a key step a regio- and stereospecific ring-opening of a substituted vinyl epoxide under Lewis acid catalysis. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Enantiospecific synthesis of (-)-muricatacin from l-(+)-tartaric acid
Prasad, Kavirayani R.,Anbarasan, Pazhamalai
, p. 2465 - 2467 (2007/10/03)
Enantiospecific synthesis of (-)-muricatacin, a bio-active lactone comprising of a 5-hydroxyalkylbutan-4-olide structural component has been achieved from l-(+)-tartaric acid. The key step involves a disteroselective reduction of a C2-symmetric
