Jb. Gale et al., STEREOCHEMISTRY OF MONO-TETRAHYDROFURANYL MOIETY IN CYTOTOXIC POLYKETIDES .B. APPLICATION OF PROTON CHEMICAL-SHIFT PATTERNS, Tetrahedron letters, 34(37), 1993, pp. 5851-5854
Dimesitoate esters of alpha,alpha-dibutyl-2,5-tetrahydrofurandimethano
ls of different relative stereochemistry showed unique chemcial shift
patterns in benzene-d6, which is applicable to the assignment of relat
ive stereochemistry of the mono-tetrahydrofuranyl moiety of cytotoxic
polyketides.
