Abstract

The selective total synthesis of the pure Z-isomer of BOX A (8a), a product of oxidative heme degradation with significant physiological impact, was achieved in four to six steps starting from 3-bromo-4-methylfuran-2,5-dione (1). Z-BOX A forms a strong hydrogen bridge framework in the crystalline state. LC-MS techniques allow identification and characterization of isomeric forms of BOX A.
