Abstract:
A stereoselective total synthesis of multiplolide A ( 1 ) and of its diastereoisomer 2 was described from easily accessible starting materials (Schemes 2–4). The synthetic strategy involves a Jacobsen resolution, Sharpless epoxidation, Swern oxidation, Yamaguchi reaction, and ring‐closing metathesis (RCM).
