Chattopadhyay %J Molecules %D 1998 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/30200044 %X A short and efficient chemoenzymatic synthesis of the title compound has been developed. The salient features of the synthesis were i) preparation of the required chiron via a porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) catalyzed esterification of a ¦Ø-functionalized 2-alkanol and ii) use of easily accessible and inexpensive materials/ reagents. %K Phoracantholide I %K enantioselective synthesis %K lipase catalyzed resolution %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/3/2/44
