title: Asymmetric synthesis and antitumor activity of cycloalkanin.
abstract: Cycloalkanin was accessible by a practical and efficient asymmetric synthesis. The chiral center of the target is introduced via an asymmetric C-arylation of chiral aldehyde in high de. The synthesized cycloalkanin was shown to be significantly active against P388 cell line as assayed by in vitro MIT method.
