, p. 4675 - 4682 (2007/10/02)
An enantioselective total synthesis of (-)-epipodophyllotoxin (2) and hence of (-)-podophyllotoxin (1) is described, involving as key steps a conjugate addition on butenolide 13 as the chiral template, a stereoselective aldol condensation on 11a and a ste
TOTAL SYNTHESIS OF (+/-)-PODOPHYLLOTOXIN AND (+/-)-EPIPODOPHYLLOTOXIN.

, p. 3871 - 3874 (2007/10/02)
A novel approach to (+/-)-epipodophyllotoxin (2) and hence also (+/-)-podophyllotoxin (1) is described, involving as a key-step the stereoselective ring closure of the TMS-ester derived from 14a to the tetralin derivative 15 with mesyl chloride.
