abstract = "First total synthesis of (-)-pyriculariol, a phytotoxin isolated from rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea, was achieved to determine the absolute configuration of the natural product to be 5′R,6′S. The key step was Stille coupling reaction using microwave irradiation from -78 °C to control the reaction.",
