title: Synthesis of the C(1)-C(18) segment of lophotoxin and pukalide. Control of 2-alkenylfuran (E/Z)-configuration.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The convergent synthesis of the fully functionalized C(1)-C(18) segment 24 of the furanocembranes lophotoxin and pukalide was accomplished in 11 steps and 10% overall yield. The key step was a stereoselective conversion of alkynoate 21 to trimethylsilyl 2-alkenylfuran 22.
