摘要:
The racemic title compound has been transformed into both Cyclic and acyclic segments of bioactive natural products, including the C10-C17 segment of pederin, the C12-C19 (C12'-C19') segment of disorazole and the C1-C9 segment of auriside. A methodology for the opening of six-membered ring acetals, containing gem-dimethyl groups, to 5-hydroxyl,3-dithianes has been developed.((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002).
