Abstract

(18S)-Variabilin is the representative furanosesterterpenes, which exhibits varieties of bioactivities. Starting from geraniol and the key chiral segment prepared via Evans' asymmetric alkylation protocol, (18S)-variabilin has been totally synthesized in the longest linear 13 steps involving Julia-Lythgoe coupling reaction and aldol-type condensation.
