Abstract
The first total synthesis of two possible diastereomers of natural 6-chlorotetrahydrofuran acetogenin 1 has been achieved. The synthetic route features 5-exo-tet cyclization, Z selective Wittig reaction and Julia olefination for the construction of conjugated diene and enyne moieties, and stereoselective chlorination. Comparison of their 1H and 13C NMR data and specific rotation with those of the natural product elucidated the absolute configuration of natural (−)-6-chlorotetrahydrofuran acetogenin 1.
