Progress towards the asymmetric synthesis of nitiol : construction of the 1-hydroxy derivatives

The asymmetric synthesis of nitiol was proposed. We employed a convergent approach where the 12-membered B-ring was constructed at a late stage via the sequential coupling of two cyclopentane fragments. For the A-ring fragment, the initial stereochemistry was set using the Sharpless asymmetric e...
