β¦ Synopsis
Both the enantiomers of sclerosporin 1 and sclerosporal 2 were synthesized from (-)carvone. (4R, 9R, lOR)-(+)-Sclerosporin and (4R, 9R, lOR)-(-)-sclerosporal were identified as natural enantiomers by bio-assay and by the CD-spectral comparison. Sclerosporin 1, the main sporogenic substance isolated together with sclerosporal 2 by Katayama and Marumo from Sclerotinia fructicola, induced remarkably the formation of asexual arthrospore in the fungal mycelium.' Their structures were proposed as ti-cadalane sesquiterpenes, l_and 2_, which were confirmed by the synthesis of racemates.2 The absolute

The pure enantiomers of felodipine, 1, have been synthesized by chromatographic separation of diastereomeric esters with (R)-l-(p-toluenesulfonyl)-3-trityloxypropan-2-ol, 3, as an easily removable chiral auxiliary. Absolute configurations have been deduced via X-ray crystallography on a (R)-mandelic
