Abstract:
[reaction: see text] cis-Solamin (1) and its diastereoisomer 14 have been synthesized in 13 steps using the diastereoselective permanganate-promoted oxidative cyclization of 1,5-dienes to create the tetrahydrofuran diol core. Notably, no protecting groups are required during the stages of fragment assembly.
