title: A concise and diastereoselective total synthesis of cis and trans-pterocarpans.
abstract: A new strategy for the diastereoselective and convergent synthesis of pterocarpans which is able to control the relative stereochemistry of the molecule through allylation of aromatic aldehydes with cyclic allylsiloxanes is described.
