Retracted Article: Organocatalytic stereoselective synthesis of passifloricin A

Abstract

The enantioselective synthesis of passifloricin A has been achieved in high diastereomeric excess. The 1,3-polyol moiety was constructed by iterative proline-catalyzed sequential α-aminoxylation and Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) olefination of aldehydes while the synthesis of lactone moiety was achieved by ring-closing metathesis (RCM).
