Convergent Total Syntheses of Anti ‐Diol Diastereomers of Tonkinelin Toward Its Absolute Structure Assessment

The stereoselective syntheses of (17 S ,18 R ,36 S )‐tonkinelin and its diastereomer (17 R ,18 S ,36 S )‐tonkinelin via a convergent strategy have been achieved. The strategy involved the stepwise construction of two key fragments—a chiral ester‐derived phosphonium salt and a req...
