Abstract

The synthesis of two diastereomers of pericosine A from (−)-quinic acid was achieved, thus enabling the confirmation of the relative configuration and elucidation of the absolute stereochemistry of cytotoxic natural product pericosine D assigned as methyl (3R,4R,5S,6R)-6-chloro-3,4,5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate.
