Integrated synthesis of conduritols A–F using a single chiral building block

Abstract

Six possible diastereomers of conduritols have been synthesized diastereoselectively in an integrated manner starting from a single chiral precursor, which served as a synthetic equivalent of chiral cis-1,4-dihydroxycyclohexa-2,5-diene.
