Mj. Chen et al., Efficient total synthesis of (-)-epilitsenolide C-2 and (-)-isodihydro-mahubanolide B via a modified tungsten-mediated cycloalkenylation reaction, SYNLETT, (8), 2000, pp. 1205-1207
An efficient method is developed for total synthesis of (-)-epilitsenolide
C-2 and (-)-isodihydro-mahubanolide B based on a modified cycloalkenylation
of chiral alkynyltungsten compounds.
