A. Pemp et K. Seifert, ENANTIOSELECTIVE TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF (-LABD-8(17)-ENE-3-BETA,15-DIOL AND (-)-LABD-8(17)-ENE-3-BETA,7-ALPHA,15-TRIOL()), Tetrahedron letters, 38(12), 1997, pp. 2081-2084
Enantioselective total synthesis of the labdane diterpenes (+)-labd-8(
17)-ene-3 beta,15-diol ((+)-1) and (-)-labd-8(17)-ene-3 beta,7 alpha,
15-triol ((-)-2) was achieved starting from the (S)-(+)-enantiomer of
the Wieland-Miescher ketone (+)-3 and the (R)-(+)-enantiomer of lacton
e (+)-13. These results established that the natural compounds (+)-1 a
nd (-)-2 possess the (13S) absolute configuration. (C) 1997 Published
