Effect of the allylic substituents on ring closing metathesis: the total synthesis of stagonolide B and 4-epi-stagonolide B

Awadut G. Giri, Mohabul A. Mondal, Vedavati G. Puranik and Chepuri V. Ramana


The total syntheses of stagonolide B and its 4-epimer were carried out to probe into how the relative stereochemistry of allylic hydroxy groups and their protecting groups influence the efficiency of the ring closing metathesis.
