A short enantioselective total synthesis of the phytotoxic lactoneherbarumin III

Abstract

The phytotoxic lactone herbarumin III has been synthesized in 11% overall yield. The approach applied uses Keck's asymmetric allylation and Sharpless epoxidation to build the key fragment. Esterification with 5-hexenoic acid and a ring closing metathesis was used to arrive at the target.
