S. Yamauchi et Y. Kinoshita, First stereoselective synthesis of (+)-magnostellin C, a tetrahydrofuran type of lignan bearing a chiral secondary benzyl alcohol, BIOS BIOT B, 65(7), 2001, pp. 1559-1567
(+)-Magnostellin C, which is a tetrahydrofuran type of lignan bearing a chi
ral secondary benzylic hydroxy group, was stereoselectively synthesized fro
m L-arabinose by using threo selective aldol condensation.
