title: Studies on WF-3681, a novel aldose reductase inhibitor. II. Structure determination and synthesis.
abstract: The structure of WF-3681, a novel aldose reductase inhibitor produced by Chaetomella raphigera Swift No. 3681, was deduced to be 1 on the basis of its spectroscopic and chemical evidences and confirmed by a total synthesis starting from (E)-5-phenyl-4-pentenol.
