Asymmetric total synthesis of smyrindiol employing an organocatalytic aldol key step

Asymmetric total synthesis of smyrindiol employing an organocatalytic aldol key step

The first organocatalytic asymmetric synthesis of smyrindiol, by using an (S)-proline catalyzed enantioselective intramolecular aldol reaction as the key step, is described. Smyrindiol was synthesized from commercially available 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in 15 steps, with excellent stereoselectivity...
