title = "Concise Stereocontrolled Synthesis of an α-Carbagalactose Segment of RCAI-56, a Candidate Anticancer Agent",
abstract = "RCAI-56 is a synthetic glycolipid exhibiting a potent antitumor activity by stimulation of natural killer T cells. Tetra- O -benzyl-α-carbagalactose, an important synthetic segment of RCAI-56, was stereoselectively synthesized from 1,4-dichloro-2-butene in nine steps, including the key step of organocatalytic asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction between acrolein and 1-benzyloxybutadiene.",
