Abstract:
Asymmetric total synthesis of compound 1, as a proposed molecular structure of a natural product, in 11 steps is described. The inconsistency of the characterization data between our synthesized sample and the natural product prompted us to propose a different molecular structure as compound 2 and accordingly accomplish total synthesis in 9 steps and confirm the structural revision of this natural product. Both total syntheses feature highly regio- and diastereoselective epoxidation, Stille cross-coupling and cross-metathesis.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
