Abstract
A concise and highly enantioselective synthesis of the flavonoids brosimine A, brosimine B, and brosimacutin L is reported for the first time. The key transformation is a single-step conversion of a flavanone into a flavan by means of an asymmetric transfer hydrogenation/deoxygenation cascade.Entities:
