J. Boukouvalas et al., CONCISE SYNTHESIS OF YINGZHAOSU-C AND EPI-YINGZHAOSU-C BY PEROXYL RADICAL CYCLIZATION - ASSIGNMENT OF RELATIVE CONFIGURATION, Tetrahedron letters, 36(24), 1995, pp. 4167-4170
The antimalarial peroxide yingzhaosu C and its diastereoisomer (epi-yi
ngzhaosu C) have been synthesized by means of tandem peroxyl radical c
yclization-oxygen entrapment. The relative configuration of yingzhaosu
C is assigned as cis (3) on account of NMR data for both diastereoiso
mers, (2) and (3), and their precursors (8) and (9).
