title: Stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-cleistenolide.
abstract: A facile stereoselective total synthesis of cleistenolide (1) from the natural chiral template d-arabinose has been achieved in eight steps and 49% overall yield, employing key steps including Wittig olefination, selective 1,3-trans-acetal formation, and modified Yamaguchi esterification.
