Biomimetic studies on polyenes

Org Biomol Chem. 2003 Nov 7;1(21):3670-84. doi: 10.1039/b306933h.

Abstract

The crispatenes and SNF4435 C&D are complex polypropionate derived natural products. The core structures of these compounds along with a complex unnatural structure can be easily prepared from a common polyene precursor simply by variation of the reaction conditions. The reaction pathways provide insight into the biosynthesis of these complex natural products.
