	abstract = {<p>The total syntheses of decarestrictines C-1 and C-2 have been described. The synthetic strategy involves a practical and flexible approach using esterification and ring-closing metathesis to unite the acid and alcohol fragments. The acid fragments are enantiomers of each other and have been prepared from L-(-)-malic acid via similar transformations; in Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, (+)-DET has been used for decarestrictine C-1 and (-)-DET for decarestrictine C-2. The alcohol fragment is identical for both decarestrictines C-1 and C-2 and has been accessed from D-(+)-mannitol. Comparison of the H-1 and C-13 NMR data combined with the computational studies predicts the presence of two conformations without and with hydrogen bonding (conformational isomers I and II for decarestrictine C-1), respectively. The H-1 and C-13 NMR data for decarestrictine C-2 completely agreed with the analytical data reported by Kibayashi et al. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.</p>},
