Abstract
A convenient and practical approach for the total synthesis of naturally occurring lactone synargentolide-B has been accomplished in 14 steps from the commercially available l-ascorbic acid and d-ribose involving Bestmann–Ohira reaction, zinc mediated allylation, ring closing-metathesis, and cross-metathesis reactions. The highlight of our strategy describes a one-pot reaction involving stereoselective addition of allylzinc reagent and selective reduction of terminal alkyne to obtain the key advanced intermediates.
