Abstract

Sugar and spice... The total synthesis of the rare but potent anticancer natural product (-)-episilvestrol and its 5‴ epimer (-)-silvestrol was accompushed from D-glucose, naringenin, and methyl cinnamate (see scheme). The key steps of the sequence were inspired by the possible biogenesis of these compounds. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
