Abstract

A stereoselective total synthesis of (−)-cleistenolide (1) derived from d-(−)-isoascorbic acid has been described. The new synthetic strategy involves highly diastereoselective reduction, one-pot protection of required benzoyl, acetyl groups, and the RCM reaction by using Grubbs catalyst are the key steps with considerable yields.
