A Synthesis of the Chlorosulfolipid Mytilipin A via a Longest Linear Sequence of Seven Steps1. Issue 38 (8th August 2013) - Chung, Won‐jin
Abstract Magnificent seven: The chlorosulfolipid mytilipin A was synthesized in racemic form in seven steps and in enantioenriched form in eight steps. Key transformations include a highly diastereoselective bromoallylation of a sensitive α, β‐dichloroaldehyde, a kinetic resolution of a vinyl epoxide, a convergent and highly Z‐selective alkene cross‐metathesis, and a chemoselective and diastereoselective dichlorination of a complex diene.
