The chiral auxiliary approach and enzymatic resolution are the two common strategies employed so far in the literature for the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-paraconyl alcohol. Herein, we report the first organocatalytic approach for the short asymmetric synthesis of (R)-paraconyl alcohol in four steps and by a single column purification. Asymmetric syntheses of IM-2, SCB2, and A-factor γ-butyrolactone autoregulators were achieved from (R)-paraconyl alcohol in three steps.falseOrganocatalytic approach for short asymmetric synthesis of (r)-paraconyl alcohol: Application to the total syntheses of IM-2, SCB2, and a-factor γ-butyrolactone autoregulatorsArticle152069044167-41726 April 201818arJournal16WOS:000429886100076
