Abstract

A chiral base kinetic resolution of an advanced bicyclic intermediate enabled access to the polyprenylated phloroglucinol natural product (+)-clusianone in enantiomerically pure form. X-ray structure determination of another product obtained by the same method then allowed the absolute stereochemistry of (+)-clusianone to be assigned.
