, p. 4025 - 4026 (2007/10/02)
The terminal double bond of acyclic isoprenoids was converted into chiral epoxide in high optical yield by using asymmetric reduction of α-ketol with baker's yeast.
Total Syntheses of Fungal Metabolites and Functionalized Furanones
Chen, Kau-Ming,Semple, J. Edward,Joullie, Madeleine M.
, p. 3997 - 4005 (2007/10/02)
Simple, efficient syntheses of the fungal metabolites colletochlorin D and (+/-)-ascofuranone and one of its stereoisomers are described.Our investigations of functionalized furanones also enabled us to develop a nine-step (22percent overall yield) synthe
