employing Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD), intramolecular S N 2 cyclization,
and stereoselective Grignard reaction as the key steps. Our synthetic approach for the
synthesis of (+)-petromyroxol was envisioned via the retrosynthetic route as shown in
Scheme 1. The 2,5-disubstituted-3-oxygenated THF derivative 6 was visualized as a
synthetic intermediate from which (+)-… In conclusion, an efficient approach to the total …
