We herein report the first enantioselective synthesis of two new monocyclic sesquiterpenes from Artemisia chamaemelifolia starting from an enantiopure building block. The key feature of the present approach is to allow complete control of all the stereogenic centers present in the natural products and to elucidate their absolute stereochemistry, which to date is unknown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
