Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2012 Apr 1;22(7):2415-7. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2012.02.025. Epub 2012 Feb 17.

Abstract

The first stereoselective synthesis of (Z)-cryptomoscatone D2, a naturally occurring G(2) checkpoint inhibitor, was accomplished using propane-1,3-diol as the starting material. The Maruoka asymmetric allylation, ring closing metathesis and the hydrogenation of the triple bond employing Lindlar's catalyst were involved as the key steps.
