Thiopyran route to polypropionates : increasing stereochemical diversity of aldol adducts
Linear carbon-carbon chains with alternating hydroxyl and methyl substituents are a common motif in various natural products. Many of these so-called polypropionates show biological activity and are useful in the fields of medicine and agriculture. The stereoselective synthesis of polypropionates ha...
