Abstract

Chaxine B and its analogues were synthesized from ergosterol in eight steps on the basis of our proposed biosynthetic pathway, which includes a highly site-selective and regioselective Baeyer-Villiger oxidation as the key step. This synthesis enabled the revision of the structures of chaxine B and its analogues.
