title: Application of enantioselective radical reactions: synthesis of (+)-ricciocarpins A and B.
abstract: Enantioselective synthesis of (+)-ricciocarpins A and B has been achieved in 41 and 45% overall yields, respectively, starting from a beta-substituted oxazolidinone. The key steps in the strategy are an enantioselective conjugate radical addition and the addition of a furyl organometallic to a key aldehyde intermediate. [reaction--see text]
