Abstract

Two novel styryllactones, 7-epi-goniodiol and leiocarpin A, isolated from Goniothalamus leiocarpus, were stereoselectively synthesized in a short and efficient route from cinnamyl alcohol based on the asymmetric epoxidation and the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of vinyl epoxide with vinyltributylstannane.
