The use of π-allyltricarbonyliron lactone complexes in the synthesis of the resorcylic macrolides α- and β-zearalenol

摘要

A highly stereoselective synthesis of the natural products α- and β-zearalenol 1 and 2 has been achieved usingnπ-allyltricarbonyliron lactone complexes to control the 1,5-stereochemical relationship of the oxygen functionalitiesnfound in these resorcylic macrolides.
