Total syntheses of all stereoisomers of phenatic acid B.
The total syntheses of all stereoisomers of phenatic acid B and determination of their absolute configuration are described. The synthetic strategy is based on an efficient combination of the Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, the Johnson-Claisen rearrangement, and hydroboration-oxidation. It involves 11-12 steps and overall yield of 5-8%.
