Abstract

(Figure Presented) The winner takes it aldol: The total synthesis of auripyrones A and B was achieved using a diastereoselective aldol-type reaction with 2, 6-diethyl-3, 5-dimethyl-4-pyrone as a key step. The stereostructure and absolute configura-tion of auripyrone B has also been determined.
