Abstract
An alternative and concise total synthesis of (3 R, 4S)-4-Hydroxylasiodiplodin has been reported from inexpensive and commercially available 6-heptenal and Orsellinic acid starting materials. The key steps involved in the synthesis are Wittig reaction, Sharpless epoxidation, Yamaguchi esterification and ring-closing metathesis (RCM).
