Abstract
An efficient formal total synthesis of the PKC inhibitor balanol 1 is described, starting from the commercially available pentane1,5-diol. A Shi epoxidation and Pd(0)-mediated nitrogen substitution with double inversion established the correct configuration of the balanol precursor 3. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
