Synthesis of (–)-Virginiae Butanolide A (VB-A).

This document provides a detailed account of the synthesis and characterization of bioactive compounds called Virginiae butanolide hormones. The synthesis process involves specific stereotriads and the inversion of the 1'-OH group. The synthesis was successful in creating (–)-VB-A, and the synthesized compound matched previously published data. The document includes information on experimental procedures, analytical techniques, and chemical properties of the compounds. This technical text may be of interest to researchers in the field but may not be easily understandable to general library patrons. [Extracted from the article]
