Synthesis of (-)-xialenon A by enantioselective alpha-deprotonation-rearrangement of a meso-epoxide
The first total synthesis of (-)-xialenon A was achieved via enantioselective transannular desymmetrisation of a substituted cycloctene oxide using an organolithium/(-)-α-isosparteine combination. Oxidation of the resulting bicyclo[3.3.0]octanol gave an enone which underwent stereoselective conjugat...
