Abstract
Selective and practical asymmetric syntheses of (+)-decursinol (1) and (+)- trans-decursidinol (2) have been achieved using naturally occurring umbelli ferone, demethylsuberosin, and xanthyletin as the synthetic intermediates. The absolute stereochemistry was established in the late stage of synthesis by employing Jacobsen's enantioselective epoxidation conditions. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
