Highly Efficient Synthesis of (+)-Bromoxone, (+)-Epiepoxydon and (+)-Epiepoformin

Abstract

), isolated from the culture filtrate of an unidentified fungus, showed inhibitory activity against the germination of lettuce seeds. Due to their broad range of biological properties and their usefulness as key intermediates, significant efforts have been put toward the stereoselective formation of these epoxyquinols.
