title: Enantioselective formal synthesis of eurylene: synthesis of the cis- and trans-THF fragments using oxidative cyclization.
abstract: A formal synthesis of eurylene is described, where both cis- and trans-THF-containing fragments were prepared using diastereo- and chemoselective permanganate-mediated oxidative monocyclizations of trienes.
