An efficient approach for the total synthesis of balticolid
Abstract
Abstract An efficient stereoselective total synthesis of balticolid has been accomplished starting from known aldehyde. The key steps involved in this synthesis are Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, Wittig olefination, alkylation of 1,3-dithiane and Yamaguchi macrolactonization.
