The paraconic acid derivatives 5e and 5f were utilized as the starting materials for the syntheses of (±)-lichesterinic acid (12), (±)-phaseolinic acid (13), (±)-nephromopsinic acid (14), (±)-rocellaric acid (15), and (±)-dihydroprotolichesterinic acid (16).Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyChemical EngineeringChemistryPharmacology, Toxicology and PharmaceuticsVicinal dianion of triethyl ethanetricarboxylate: Syntheses of (±)-lichesterinic acid, (±)-phaseolinic acid, (±)-nephromopsinic acid, (±)-rocellaric acid, and (±)-dihydroprotolichesterinic acidArticleSCOPUS10.1002/1522-2675(200211)85:11<3792::AID-HLCA3792>3.0.CO;2-Q
