Stereoselective synthesis of cyercene A and the placidenes

Org Lett. 2005 Mar 3;7(5):819-21. doi: 10.1021/ol047542w.

Abstract

Members of a family of alpha-methoxy-gamma-pyrone-containing polypropionate natural products have been stereoselectively synthesized. Two key iodovinyl pyrone building blocks were coupled to appropriately selected vinyl stannanes to assemble the highly substituted polyene side chains of the natural products. [structure: see text]
