title: Chemoenzymatic total synthesis and reassignment of the absolute configuration of ribisin C.
abstract: The enantiomerically pure and enzymatically derived cis-1,2-dihydrocatechol 5 has been converted, by two related pathways, into compounds 3 and ent-3. As a result, it has been determined that the true structure of the natural product ribisin C is represented by ent-3.
