title: Total synthesis of enantiopure potassium aeshynomate.
abstract: Potassium aeshynomate (1) is the leaf-opening factor of the nyctinastic plant Aeshynomene indica L. In this article a convenient and efficient strategy for the total synthesis of enantiomerically pure 1 is described, starting from the l-arabinose derived chiron ent-6. The realized synthetic scheme involves a postcoupling oxidation approach and securely determines the absolute configuration of the targeted natural product, which remained unknown until now.
