Enantiodivergent synthesis of cytotoxic styryl lactones from d-xylose. The first total synthesis of (+)- and (-)-crassalactone C

Enantiodivergent total syntheses of both (+)- and (-)-enantiomers of goniofufurone, 7-epi-goniofufurone and crassalactone C have been accomplished starting from d-xylose. The key steps of the synthesis of 7-epi-(+)-goniofufurone were a stereo-selective ad

Synthesis and antiproliferative activity of unnatural enantiomers of 7-epi-goniofufurone and crassalactone C

A facile synthesis of 7-epi-(-)-goniofufurone as well as the first synthesis of (-)-crassalactone C was achieved starting from d-xylose. A comparison of their in vitro antitumour activities with those observed for the corresponding naturally occurring enantiomers was provided.
