Abstract

Rodgersinol was synthesized via seven linear steps in 31% overall yield, and the absolute configuration of the C-10 stereogenic center was elucidated. The key feature of the synthesis involves the efficient Cu(II)-mediated coupling of two aromatic moieties for the diaryl ether intermediate and the enantioselective construction of the hydroxypropyl substituent by a regio- and stereoselective methyl addition to the chiral aryloxiranes in an inversion manner.
