title: An organocatalytic asymmetric allylic alkylation allows enantioselective total synthesis of hydroxymetasequirin-A and metasequirin-B tetramethyl ether diacetates.
abstract: The first highly stereoselective organocatalytic intermolecular allylic alkylation of allylic alcohols with 1,3-dicarbonyls has been developed to allow the first enantioselective total synthesis of hydroxymetasequirin-A and metasequirin-B tetramethyl ether diacetates.
