Enantioselective syntheses of (+)-acetylphomalactone and (6R)-(+)-goniothalamin from 2-furylmethanols
Abstract
Enantioselective syntheses of two 6-substituted 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-ones, (+)-acetylphomalactone and (6R)-(+)-goniothalamin, are described which use the kinetic resolution of racemic secondary 2-furylmethanols.
