Total synthesis of (S)-(+)-curcudiol, (S)- and (R)-(−)-curcuphenol based on enzymatic resolution of a primary alcohol possessing one stereogenic center
A highly stereoselective synthesis of the versatile chiral synthons possessing one stereogenic center, (S)-3 and (R)-3 was achieved and the application of (S)-3 and (R)-3 into the total syntheses of (S)-curcuphenol (1), (S)-curcudiol (2) and (R)-curcuphenol (1), respectively, was described.
