Karnekanti Rajender, Venkateshwarlu R and Venkateswara Rao P

Stereoselective total synthesis of (-)-anamarine was achieved from D-mannitol through demonstrating the effect of electron withdrawing group in cross-metathesis reaction. The key reactions involved are regioselective ring opening, cross-metathesis and ring closing metathesis reactions.
