Abstract

Abstract The first diastereoselective synthesis of the antimicrobial and cytotoxic agent (–)- caulerpenynol (2) was achieved in relatively few steps from commercially available (S)-malic acid. Highlights of this synthesis include the nonracemization of the sensitive α-hydroxy ketone moiety and the proper choice of the protecting groups for critical last deprotection step.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
