Significance

Luo and co-workers disclose an enantioselective convergent approach towards three grayanane diterpenoids: (–)-grayanotoxin III, (+)‑principinol E, and (–)-rhodomollein XX.


#

Comment

The convergent approach is made possible by assembling fragment B and C in a diastereoselective Mukaiyama aldol addition catalyzed by the chiral hydrogen bond donor D.
