Novel highly stereoselective syntheses of (+)-streptol and (-)-1-<i>epi</i>-streptol starting from naturally abundant (-)-shikimic acid were described in this article. (-)-Shikimic acid was first converted to the common key intermediate by 11 steps in 40% yield. It was then converted to (+)-streptol by three steps in 72% yield, and it was also converted to (-)-1-<i>epi</i>-streptol by one step in 90% yield. In summary, (+)-streptol and (-)-1-<i>epi</i>-streptol were synthesized from (-)-shikimic ...[more]
