Enantiocontrolled Total Synthesis of Conduritols:1(+)-Conduritol E and (-)-Conduritol F

Abstract
Conduritols (+)-E, and (-)-F have been synthesized from bromobenzene in an efficient and enantiocontrolled fashion. Microbial oxidation of bromobenzene affords diene diol 2 [(1S,2S)-3-bromo-3,5-cyclohexadiene-1,2-diol] possessing the requisite cis-diol moiety of the above conduritols. Complete stereocontrol in the introduction of subsequent hydroxyls has been achieved.
