摘要:
Catalytic enantioselective syntheses of the macrolides (R)-(-) phoracantholide and (R)-(+) lasiodiplodin have been achieved. Stereochemistry was introduced in using an arene chromium tricarbonyl derived catalyst, which mediated the enantioselective addition of dimethyl zinc to a functionalized aldehyde.
