Bioorg Med Chem. 2013 Sep 1;21(17):5271-4. doi: 10.1016/j.bmc.2013.06.024. Epub 2013 Jun 20.

Abstract

A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of (S)-(-)-zearalenone is reported using asymmetric allylic alkylation for the introduction of the stereocenter. (S)-(-)-Zearalenone turned out to be a novel lipoxygenase inhibitor.

Keywords: (S)-(−)-Zearalenone; Allylic alkylation; Lipoxygenase; Mycotoxin; Resorcyclic acid lactone.
