Stereochemical Control of Polyketides through Asymmetric Aldol Reaction

Polyketides are a group of complex natural products that can inhibit the growth of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and tumor cells. Most polyketides are very difficult to extract from bacteria. Therefore, numerous syntheses of polyketide-related synthons have been attempted. <p> However, contro...
