Abstract

Total synthesis of the (R,R,R)- and (S,S,S)-enantiomers of the natural product schweinfurthin F has been completed. Comparisons of spectral data and optical rotations with those reported for the natural product, as well as a variety of bioassay data, allow assignment of the natural material as the (R,R,R)-isomer.
