The strategy is based on the onepot epoxidation/lactonisation or dihydroxylation/lactonisation of the hypothetical biosynthetic intermediate xylarioic A acid (8). The absolute configuration of xylariolide A was thus determined to be 3R,4S,5R,1 R,2 R after the synthesis of 1, two epimers, i.e., 1 -epi-xylariolide A (3) and 2 -epi-xylariolide A (4), and three more diastereoisomers 5–7.}, publisher = {Willey}, keywords = {Natural products}, keywords = {Total synthesis}, keywords = {Asymmetric synthesis}, keywords = {Configuration determination}, keywords = {Medicinal chemistry}, keywords = {Lactones}, title = {Stereoselective Synthesis and Absolute Configuration Determination of Xylariolide A}, doi = {10.1002/ejoc.201201526}, author = {Botubol Ares, José Manuel and Macías Sánchez, Antonio José and González Collado, Isidro and Hernández Galán, Rosario}, }
