Abstract

Summary:(-)-Balanol, a fungal metabolite with potent protein kinase C inhibitory properties, has been prepared in a total synthesis which makes use of an anionic homo-Fries rearrangement approach to the benzophenone subunit and in which the azepane subunit is obtained from (2S, 3R)-3-hydroxylysine.
