Abstract

Abstract The first asymmetric total syntheses of two resorcylic acid lactones (RALs)– cochliomycin A and zeaenol–have been achieved in a divergent way. The main highlight of our strategy involves successful application of stereoselecive Keck allylation and Julia– Kocienski olefination to access an advanced intermediate, by starting from L-tartaric acid as a chiral pool compound. This intermediate is coupled with a trisubstituted benzoic acid to ...
