Org Lett. 2010 Nov 19;12(22):5166-9. doi: 10.1021/ol102177j. Epub 2010 Oct 25.

Abstract

Total synthesis of Phytophthora mating hormone α1 (1) has been demonstrated. The required stereochemistries (methyl) are achieved by applying CuI-(S)-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed conjugate addition of Grignard reagents to α,β-unsaturated esters.
