Ja. Marshall et Hj. Jiang, TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF THE THREO, TRANS, THREO-MONO-TETRAHYDROFURAN ANNONACEOUS ACETOGENIN LONGIFOLICIN, Tetrahedron letters, 39(12), 1998, pp. 1493-1496
An enantioselective synthesis of the C-35 threo, trans, threo-mono-tet
rahydrofuran annonaceous acetogenin longifolicin through use of chiral
long-chain alpha- and gamma-OMOM allylic stannanes and (E)-ethyl 3-fo
rmyl-2-propenoate as the starting materials is described. The synthesi
s is structurally definitive and potentially applicable to other membe
rs of this family of cytotoxic acetogenins. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
