Abstract
A simple and efficient approach to (+)-nephrosteranic acid from dodecanol as a starting material is described, employing Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, ring-closing metathesis, and Gilman addition of a vinyl group as key steps. These key reactions allow fast access to trisubstituted γ-butyrolactone. The molecule synthesized exhibits potent antifungal, antibacterial, and cytotoxic activities against all the tested strains.
