Yh. Gan et al., A novel route to stereoselective synthesis of (4R,5S)-O-acetylosmundalactone and (4S,5R)-O-acetylosmundalactone, J CHEM R-S, (8), 1999, pp. 488-489
A route has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of (4R,5S)-O-
acetylosmundalactone 1 and (4S,5R)-O-acetylosmundalactone 2 by using Sharpl
ess kinetic resolution of the racemic 1-(2-furyl)ethanol 6 as a key step.
