Abstract

The total synthesis of (–)-muricatacin is achieved using commercially available tri-O-acetyl- d -glucal as the starting material. The structure of the intermediate chiral butenolide is established unambiguously by X-ray crystallographic analysis, which consequently leads to correction of a previous structural misassignment.
