Abstract

The first total synthesis of the polyketide eujavanoic acid B has been accomplished from an easily available and inexpensive starting material 1,3-propane diol. Maruoka asymmetric allylation, Julia olefination, HWE olefination and organocatalyzed intramolecular Diels–Alder reactions are the key steps involved in the present synthesis.
