Garbaccio, Robert M. Danishefsky, Samuel J. Efficient Asymmetric Synthesis of Radicicol Dimethyl Ether:  A Novel Application of Ring-Forming Olefin Metathesis A concise, stereospecific synthesis of radicicol dimethyl ether is presented. The strategy relies on a convergent three-stage assembly of the 14-membered lactone which has, as a key transformation, a novel ring-forming metathesis reaction utilizing a vinyl epoxide. radicicol dimethyl ether;metathesi;convergent;Olefin;Radicicol;Efficient Asymmetric Synthesis;strategy;stereospecific synthesis;vinyl epoxide;lactone;transformation;assembly;Novel Application;Dimethyl;Metathesi;membered;Ether 2000-08-31
