Abstract

Concise and efficient total syntheses of anticancer agents (S)(+)-Plakolide A and (R)-(-)-Plakolide A were accomplished in eight steps and an overall yield of 39 % starting from geraniol. The key steps in our strategy are Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, double elimination, and Stille coupling reactions.
