## Abstract The first diastereoselective synthesis of the antimicrobial and cytotoxic agent (–)‐caulerpenynol (**2**) was achieved in relatively few steps from commercially available (__S__)‐malic acid. Highlights of this synthesis include the nonracemization of the sensitive α‐hydroxy ketone moiet
All the four possible stereoisomers of mueggelone, an inhibitor of fish development, were efficiently synthesized in a stereoselective manner starting from D-arabinose, and the absolute configuration was determined to be 9R,12S,13S.
The first total synthesis of achaetolide, a 10-membered macrolactone was achieved using Mitsunobu reaction and Grubbs ring-closing metathesis reaction as the key steps for ring construction. The desired stereo centres were generated by Jacobsen hydrolytic kinetic resolution, dihydroxylation and Shar
