Abstract

An asymmetric aldol reaction between aldehyde 31 and imide 32, followed at a later stage by ring-closing metathesis (38→ 40), are key reactions used to make optically pure allylic alcohol 40. Radical cyclization of the derived Stork bromo acetals gives lactol ethers 43, which were degraded to generate a quaternary center carrying a methoxycarboxyl group (44→ 47). Compound 47 was converted into (+)-puraquinonic acid; and comparison with ...
