A Stereoselective Total Synthesis of Decarestrictine I

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A convergent and stereoselective total synthesis of decarestrictine I, a polyketide natural product, is described. Both acid and alcohol fragments were prepared from the readily available L‐malic acid via StillGennari olefination and Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation. The Steglich esterification and ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) are employed to combine both acid and alcohol fragments.
