Abstract

The first total synthesis of 5-hydroxy-3-methyl-4-propylsulfanyl-5H-furan-2-one, a newly discovered natural product with anticancer property is described by two different routes. A sequence involving an incorporation of a methyl group via a Gilman reagent and a chemoselective reduction of a cyclic anhydride functionality are the key steps. The methods proposed start from easily available starting materials and allow ready preparation of the final compound in good overall yield.

Key words

Allium cepa - synthesis - Gilman reagent - chemopreventive - selective
