The total synthesis of the potential antitumour agent muricatetrocin C has provided an ideal stage for the exploitation and development of new chemistry. A convergent synthetic strategy has been realised incorporating three distinct pieces of methodology, these include a highly diastereoselective hetero-Diels-Alder reaction to construct the butenolide terminus, an oxygen to carbon rearrangement to install the trans-2,5-disubstituted tetrahydrofuran ring and a spatial desymmetrisation process to afford the anti-diol unit.

丙酮酸原酶，鼠毛霉素C的全合成。

潜在的抗肿瘤药莫特罗霉素C的全合成为开发和开发新化学方法提供了理想的阶段。融合了三种不同方法的合成策略得以实现，包括高度非对映选择性的杂Diels-Alder反应以构建丁烯内酯末端，氧至碳的重排以安装反式2,5-二取代的四氢呋喃环和空间去对称化过程得到抗二醇单元。
