Total synthesis, structural revision, and absolute configuration of (-)-clavosolide [corrected] A.

ABSTRACT

[reaction see text] Enantioselective synthesis of 3, a revised structure for clavosolide A, was completed. Both (1)H and (13)C NMR spectra of the natural and synthetic compounds were identical, and optical rotation measurements identified the absolute configuration of the natural clavosolide A as [corrected] 3.
