摘要

A practical strategy for the synthesis of both (-)- and (+)-concentricolide from salicylic acid has been developed. The key feature of the approach is sequential aromatic lithiation and condensation with an aldehyde directed by a chiral oxazoline unit derived either from L- or D-phenylalaninol, which is employed as an auxiliary.
