Abstract: (R)-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)methyl-2,5-dihydrop.vrrole (-)-2 and its (S)-isomer whiral intermediates for (-)-anisomycin (-)-1 and (+)-anisomycin (+)-1, have been efficiently synthesized via an exclusively cig-olefination step starting from D-tyrosine and L-tyrosine, respectively. The diverse hav
