The synthetic sequence involves α-methylation or α-hydroxylation, reduction, bislactonization, and reduction followed by furofuran formation. © 2006 American Chemical Society.Mahidol UniversityChemistryGeneral strategy for stereoselective synthesis of 1-substituted Exo,Endo-2,6-diaryl-3,7-dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes: Total synthesis of (±)-gmelinolArticleSCOPUS10.1021/jo0519110
