KGaA, Weinheim disubstituted tetrahydrofuran present in this potentially biologically important agent, and thereby enable the determination of the absolute configuration. The allylic alcohol 10 was prepared by the three-step sequence outlined in Scheme 2. Regioselective ring-opening of the known epoxide 8 with the cuprate derived from nheptyllithium and copper (i) cyanide at À788C, gave the desired alcohol 9 in 71% yield.[13, 14] Benzyl protection of the secondary alcohol 9, followed by oxidative cleavage of the pmethoxyphenyl group, furnished the allylic alcohol 10 in 76% yield (two steps).[15] The enantiomerically enriched allylic carbonate 12 was prepared by an initial Sharpless kinetic resolution of the allylic alcohol rac-11, followed by acylation of the product (R)-11 (! 99% ee) with BOC-ON (Scheme 3).[16]The stereospecific allylic etherification was carried out under analogous reaction conditions to those outlined in Table 2.[17] Treatment of the allylic carbonate 12 with the trimethylphosphite-modified Wilkinson catalyst and the copper (i) alkoxide derived from the allylic alcohol 10, afforded the diene 13 in 69% yield with excellent regioselectivity and enantiospecificity [! 19: 1 by NMR spectroscopy, Eq.(1)].
