The Iterative Synthesis of Acyclic Deoxypropionate Units and Their Implication in Polyketide-Derived Natural Products

Abstract

Interest in natural products containing deoxypropionate units has recently grown since the emergence of powerful synthetic strategies to access syn and anti stereoarrays. The purpose of this review is to focus on iterative methodologies leading to enantiopure carbon chains harboring two or more contiguous deoxypropionate units.
