, p. 2185 - 2187 (2003)
The asymmetric total synthesis of attenol A (1) and B (2), which possess challenging structures and an interesting biological activity, was accomplished in a convergent and highly stereo-selective manner (de, ee ≥ 96%) with good overall yield. The short total synthesis is based on asymmetric alkylations of SAMP-hydrazones as well as a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation as key steps.
