Abstract

Double take: The total syntheses of the title compounds were accomplished in a highly convergent manner. The approach features the regio- and diastereoselective Polonovski-Potier-type reaction for the coupling of two aspidosperma skeletons and the formation of the dihydrofuran ring. Troc=2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl.
