title: Enantioselective synthesis of the alcohol moiety of dolabriferol.
abstract: Dolabriferol is a marine polypropionate characterized by an unusual noncontiguous carbon backbone. The two polypropionate subunits are linked by an ester function. The protected alcohol moiety of dolabriferol was synthesized via the enzymatic desymmetrization of meso-(anti-anti)-2,4-dimethyl-1,3,5-pentanetriol.
