title: Enantioselective synthesis of ancepsenolide and its analogs.
abstract: Ancepsenolide (1a-s) and the enantiomer (1a-r) were respectively synthesized from (S)- and (R)-2-[(R)-O-MEM-mandeloyloxylpropanal (3a-s and 3a-r) and diisopropyl hexadecanedioate (5). The analogs (1b, 2a and 2b) were synthesized by a similar method.
