The aim is to achieve stereoselective syntheses of five styryllactones using efficient methodologies.
Utilized divergent strategies starting from chiral pool methyl α-D-glucopyranoside.
Employed a one-pot process involving Bernet–Vasella-type reductive elimination and nucleophilic addition.
Implemented a cascade reaction incorporating cross-metathesis and intramolecular oxa-Michael addition.
Achieved synthesis of five styryllactones in five or six linear steps.
Successfully constructed challenging dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane and dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one scaffolds.
