Chiral molecules with axial or planar chirality are of special interest to synthetic chemists because of both their unique chirality without stereogenic centers and their practical use as chiral auxiliaries or chiral ligands for catalytic asymmetric syntheses. There are therefore a number of reports on the asymmetric synthesis of these chiral molecules. Unlike common chiral molecules with stere...

Cycloelatanene A and B are marine natural products first reported a few years ago. Their relative structures had been elucidated by an extensive NMR study and found to be epimers. However, their absolute configurations had not been established because they were isolated in only minute quantities as oily compounds. In this study, the complete structures of cycloelatanene A and B, including absol...
