Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>A recently identified phenylpropanoid isolated from <italic>Peperomia tetraphylla</italic> was synthesized in enantiopure forms using an aldol condensation of enantiopure (<italic>R</italic>)‐<italic>N</italic>‐acetyl 4‐phenyl‐oxazolidin‐2‐one as the key step. With the aid of the single crystal X‐ray crystallographic analysis of the synthetic sample, the configuration for the natural product was unambiguously established. Corrected/updated ¹³C NMR and optical rotation are also presented.</p> </abstract>
