Abstract
The stereoselective total synthesis of (−)-varitriol has been achieved starting from commercially available d-(−)-ribose and o-anisic acid. A Mitsunobu reaction, Julia–Kocienski olefination, and one pot reduction of both ester and iodo functionalities with superhydride are the key reactions involved in this synthesis.
