title = "A practical total synthesis of both enantiomers of epoxyquinols A and B",
abstract = "A practical total synthesis of both enantiomers of epoxyquinols A and B has been developed. Key reactions are the chromatography-free preparation of an iodolactone by using acryloyl chloride as dienophile in the Diels-Alder reaction of furan, the lipase-mediated kinetic resolution of a cyclohexenol derivative, and a modified procedure for α-iodonation of a cyclohexenone.",

note = "Funding Information: The authors thank Meito Sangyo Co. for the generous gift of several lipases. We are indebted to Professor Takeshi Sugai of Keio University for his invaluable suggestions concerning the kinetic resolution by lipase.
