Straightforward access to substituted analogues of (+)-4-desoxy-pentenomycin was also demonstrated by means of Suzuki-Miyaura, Sonogashira, and Heck coupling reactions. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.Mahidol UniversityChemical EngineeringChemistrySynthesis of (+)-4-desoxypentenomycin and analoguesArticleSCOPUS10.1055/s-0029-1218690
