Abstract: | The stereoselective synthesis of peperomin C is reported. The key steps include the stereoselective alkylation of the substituted diphenylmethyl group to the r-butyrolactone ring and transformation of the carbonyl group to the other side in the butyrolactone ring by reduction of the lactone carbonyl followed by degradative oxidation. |
